Abstract: A container for the storage, transport and handling of bulk mail is provided. The container includes a top panel that is adequately secured in place thereby eliminating the need for a separate tray, elastic strap and sleeve. A plurality of containers, in combination with a pallet, top and bottom caps and side enclosures provide an improved method for the shipment of large quantities of bulk mail and eliminates the need for shrink wrapping conventional sleeves onto pallets.

Abstract: An approved collapsible container is provided for the transport of bulk materials contained in sacks. A collapsible container, fabricated out of a blank, is easily attached to a wood pallet. Sacks of both materials are contained therein and a top placed overhead. The process may be repeated and two pallet/containers/top combinations may be transported simultaneously. The improved container is especially adaptable for the handling and transport of bulk mail.
