First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A container comprising:
a body member formed of a stacked film and having an upper opening end and a bottom;
a frame member that is so provided as to be joined with an outer circumferential surface of the upper opening end of the body member and reinforces an edge portion of the upper opening end in such a way that a predetermined opening shape of the upper opening end is maintained; and
a plurality of container holders, each of which is provided in a position where a finger touches the body member when the body member is held and extends downward from the frame member toward the bottom of the body member, wherein
the body member has a box-like shape,
the frame member has a rectangle shape,
the plurality of container holders are provided at corners of the frame member, and the plurality of container holders are provided so as to extend along a long side of the frame member to such an extent that the container holder receives a finger of a user when the user grabs the container with one hand by sandwiching a short side of the frame member,
and wherein a length of the container holder is greater than a width of the container holder, and the width of the container holder is greater than a width of the frame member,
and wherein the plurality of container holders are adhered to the body member.

2. The container according to claim 1 , wherein
the stacked film comprises
a first heat seal layer that forms the outer circumferential surface of the body member and allows heat sealing,
a second heat seal layer that forms an inner circumferential surface of the body member and allows heat sealing, and
a base material layer provided between the first heat seal layer and the second heat seal layer.

3. The container according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of container holders are formed in a recessed shape extending along a shape of the finger that holds the body member.
