I find it frustrating when I'm packing up in the morning and my pack won't stand up. What ultralight packs do you know about that will stand up on their own?

I’m planning my second wilderness backpack. It will have a hip belt sewn on and two flat aluminum stays for a frame.

I like it to be able to stand up on its own when I take it off. What features make this work? I assume a flat bottom. Does it need to be a certain depth to work? What else?
