Abstract: The present application contemplates an adjustable volume storage container. The container is formed from two panels (10). The panels are made from a heavy duty paper board or corrugated cardboard, or the like, and are foldable. The panels (10) are prefabricated, each having a slot array (70) and two tabs (72, 74). The panels (10) are also cut to form sub-panels. The panels (10) are folded along lines (40) and (42) so that the tabs (72, 74) of one panel (10) can mate with the slot array (70) of the other panel (10). The particular slot selected determines the length of the container. Once the tabs (72, 74) are mated with the slot arrays (70), the bottom sub-panels (62, 64, 66) are folded under and fastened to form the container bottom. The container is filled, and then the upper sub-panels (50, 52, 54) are folded over and fastened creating the container top.

Abstract: A heavy-duty pallet box for bulk goods and palletized loads. The knockdown box may be folded for storage. To erect it, a flat board comprising a pair of complementary, die-cut blanks, or a unitary blank comprising complementary halves, is unfolded. A central side panel and a pair of adjacent, foldable side panels on each blank are separated by score lines for folding. Suitable flaps project from each blank for gluing them together. A lower, generally trapezoidal segment is formed at each blank bottom, below the central panel. The latter segments, one from each of two blanks, are coupled to form the knockdown bottom of the desired foldable container. Smaller trapezoidal flanges project downwardly from each blank at opposite sides of the larger trapezoidal segment. These flanges include suitable glue tabs. When assembled, the flanges form a shelf that braces the container bottom, reinforcing the structure.
