Abstract (en)

A fruit and vegetable box made from fibreboard comprises a base (1, 41), side walls (2, 42) and end walls (3, 43). Each corner of the box includes a hinged extension panel (25, 47) which is creased to provide a plurality of parallel panels so that the box may be erected in either of two configurations. In a first configuration, the hinged extension panels (25, 47) are folded to form a hollow triangular pillar section (28, 44) in each corner of the erected box whilst in a second configuration the hinged extension panels (25, 47) are folded to extend around the inside of each corner and lie substantially parallel to an adjacent side and end wall. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
