Silicone food containers

 

— a polymeric material, sometimes almost indistinguishable from plastic, and sometimes soft, which allows you to fold (“flatten”) an empty container so that it takes up less space. Silicone costs a little more than plastic, but this is fully justified by advanced characteristics: most of these containers normally tolerate contact with hot or sour food and are suitable for long-term storage of almost any product, and shocks to such material are not terrible. In this case, the silicone can also be made transparent, although this is by no means necessary.
