When substances are too large to pass through the cell membrane directly (they'd leave a gaping hole), they are enclosed in a lipid sac that is similar in composition to the cell membrane. Instead of punching through the membrane, the sac merges with it allowing the large substance to exit the cell without damaging the membrane.
