Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel apparatus and way for folding a shipping container in order to improve space utilization when in a folded condition. As a result of the container design, less vertical space is occupied in the folded condition thereby allowing an additional folded container to be stacked in an assembly of folded containers when compared to the prior art designs.
