A reversible sack that is suitable for use as a container liner is disclosed. The sack is selectively sealable and in one example can be opened and/or closed to varying degrees. More particularly, the sack has an open end and one or more mechanisms associated therewith that facilitate opening and/or closing the open end of the sack. In one example, the sack also includes a mechanism that facilitates maintaining the open end of the sack in any of the various degrees of opened and/or closed conditions. The sack functions the same regardless of whether it is in a reversed or un-reversed configuration. The reversibility of the sack provides for added versatility and allows a user to employ the sack in an un-reversed and reversed configuration as may be desired and appropriate given particular settings, surroundings, times, seasons, etc.

The sack of claim 1, the first and second lengths of material configured to fasteningly engage one another at a location substantially centered over the end of the sack, regardless of whether the sack is in reversed or un-reversed configurations. 3. The sack of claim 2, wherein the first fastening means incorporates at least one grommet through which at least one of the first and second lengths of material can readily slide to facilitate operability of the first fastening means in reversed and un-reversed configurations. 4. The sack of claim 2, where the at least one button hole substantially opposite the at least one button secured to the inside of the body of the sack and the at least one button hole substantially opposite the at least one button secured to the outside of the body of the sack may or may not correspond to the same at least one button hole(s). 5. The sack of the claim 1, the first and second portions substantially orthogonal to the third and fourth portions. 6. The sack of claim 1, the at least one button secured to an inside of the body of the sack and the at least one button secured to an outside of the body of the sack engaging corresponding button hole(s) at a location substantially centered over the end of the sack, regardless of whether the sack is in reversed or un-reversed configurations. 7. The sack of claim 2, the at least one button secured to an inside of the body of the sack and the at least one button secured to an outside of the body of the sack engaging corresponding button hole(s) at a location substantially centered over the end of the sack, regardless of whether the sack is in reversed or un-reversed configurations. 8. A sack suitable for use as a liner in a container, comprising: a body having an open end; first fastening means for fastening first and second drawn together substantially opposing portions of the body near the open end of the sack, the first fastening means comprising: a first length of material operatively associated with the first portion of the body near the open end of the sack; and a second length of material operatively associated with the second portion of the body near the open end of the sack, the first and second lengths of material being separate and distinct lengths of material discontinuous from one another; and second fastening means for fastening third and fourth drawn together substantially opposing portions of the body near the open end of the sack. 9. The sack of claim 8, the first and second lengths of material configured to fasteningly engage one another at a location substantially centered over the end of the sack, regardless of whether the sack is in reversed or un-reversed configurations. 10.
