A storage device and a storage system employing the storage device. The non-pixilated film coatings have columnar microcrystalline structure and excellent properties for use as radiological scintillators, namely very high density, high effective atomic number, and light output and emission wavelength suitable for use with silicon-based detectors having a very high quantum efficiency. The main portion is hingedly connected to the first gusset along a first fold line, the first gusset is hingedly connected to the second gusset along a second fold line, and the second gusset is hingedly connected to the first end portion along a third fold line. The docking stations allow the plugged-in cart to recharge while the cart is not in use. The apparatus may also be provided with a vacuum hose fluidly connected to a vacuum source for vacuum packing an article desirably before it is rolled-up.
