Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9324378A1] A collapsible container for use in the shipping of goods is formed from a single sheet (10) of a plastic material to form a box. The container has a bottom panel (12) and first (14) and second (16) pairs of like wall panels integrally hingedly connected to the bottom panels so that the walls can be erected from a collapsed position to an upright position and vice versa. The end panels include hinged locking flaps (f) formed with locking ribs to releasably engage with the adjacent edges of the side panels. The container is adapted to nest in superposed relationship with a like container when the containers are in a collapsed condition so that the height of a stack of collapsed containers is minimized.
