Claim 0:
1. An elastomeric container, comprising:
a top enclosure and a bottom enclosure that each comprise an elastomer, wherein the top enclosure and the bottom enclosure are configured to provide an inner volume of the shaped elastomeric container, wherein each of the top enclosure and the bottom enclosure comprises a front edge, a back edge, a left edge, and a right edge; and
a leak resistant seal comprising the elastomer, and configured to open and close the elastomeric container, the leak resistant seal, comprising:
a bottom press-fit element and a top press-fit element that are each disposed proximal to the front edge of the bottom enclosure;
a bottom pressure shield disposed between the bottom press-fit element and the inner volume, the bottom pressure shield comprising a bottom pressure shield top surface and a bottom pressure shield inner surface in direct contact with the inner volume; and
a top pressure shield disposed between the top press-fit element and the inner volume, the top pressure shield comprising a top pressure shield bottom surface and a top pressure shield inner surface in direct contact with the inner volume,

wherein an upper surface of the bottom press-fit element corresponds with a lower surface of the top press-fit element,
wherein the top press-fit element and the bottom press-fit element mate together to seal the shaped elastomeric container,
wherein the top enclosure and the bottom enclosure define a center horizontal plane along which the top enclosure and the bottom enclosure are joined,
wherein, in cross section, a thickness of the top pressure shield continuously increases along the entire top pressure shield inner surface, and, in cross section, a thickness of the bottom pressure shield continuously decreases along the entire bottom pressure shield inner surface beneath the center horizontal plane, and
wherein the bottom pressure shield includes one or more pressure resisting elements that extend at least partially across the center horizontal plane along an inner profile of the inner volume of the container, and the top pressure shield does not extend across the center horizontal plane.
