1. An aseptic bioprocess package, comprising:
a 2D flexible container comprising an interior compartment, a height having an upper half and a lower half, an inlet and an outlet, the inlet and the outlet being disposed on the same half of the 2D flexible container; and
a single channel-forming feature in the interior compartment of the container, the channel-forming feature being configured to maintain a fluid flow path that fluidly connects the interior compartment of the flexible container with the outlet;
wherein the 2D flexible container comprises two sheets hermetically sealed along edges of the two sheets to form the interior compartment; and
wherein the channel-forming feature is a singular raised portion that is more rigid than the sheets, which extends from an interior face of at least one of the two sheets to the interior compartment and prevents the two sheets of the 2D flexible container from isolating fluid in the 2D flexible container.
