Abstract: A collapsible shipping and storage container includes a collapsible exterior frame which supports a durable heavy-duty flexible bag within the confines of the frame. The bag has an open top through which parts may be tossed to fill the interior of the bag and an opening is provided in a wall of the bag for providing side access to the interior of the bag so that personnel can remove parts from the bag as they are needed. A closure is provided for that opening which can be opened from the top of the bag downward so that the bag may be accessed at progressively lower locations on the bag as the bag is emptied. When erected, the container frame is a sturdy structure so that a plurality of containers can be stacked. The frame is also collapsible so that when the associated bag is empty, the container can be collapsed and stacked with other similarly collapsed containers so that several collapsed containers can occupy the same space as a single erect container.
