Abstract: 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 releasable 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.

Abstract: A shipping container adapted to be stacked upon a like container includes upper surfaces associated with a pair of opposed walls of the container which surfaces include locating means adapted to cooperate with complimentary locating means provided on lower surfaces of a stacked container when those containers are put into vertically stacked longitudinal or transverse alignment, and complementary locating means, as aforesaid, associated with lower surfaces further including complementary guide means to enable stacking to be achieved by relative sliding between a pair of like containers until said upper and lower complementary locating means of the stacked containers are engaged whereafter further relative movement between containers is restricted.

Abstract: A plastics fish box for use on board fishing boats at sea is described. The fish box has a bottom, and side and end walls of substantially uniform thickness which terminate in a rim around the upper edge of the box. The lower parts of the walls are formed without contour, while the upper portions have a wave-shaped contour region to define with the rim a plurality of handgrip recesses.
