Abstract: A simultaneously collapsing and conveying assembly adapted to collapse constructed collapsible crates along their collapsing lines is provided herein. The collapsing assembly includes a rotating means to rotate the constructed crates by approximately 90° such as to move the open face of the crate from upward facing to forward facing and simultaneously conveying and collapsing means to convey the crates and for applying pressure on the crates' two opposing side panels, as the crates are conveyed, such as to collapse said constructed crates along their collapsing lines.

Abstract: A packing case is provided preferably manufactured from a material on which weakening lines can be formed, such as cardboard or plastic. The packaging case includes a straight side weakening line in a center of each of two opposite folding walls of the case. The side weakening lines are vertically arranged along an entire extension of the opposite folding walls. A straight bottom weakening line is formed in a center of the bottom of the packing case, the straight bottom weakening line joining the side weakening lines together. Symmetrical sets of angled bottom weakening lines are provided, each set being arranged at each end region of the bottom of the packing case adjacent to each opposite folding wall. The weakening lines from each set are arranged parallel to one another with their vertex at the central bottom weakening line and the legs of each set ending at the base of a respective one of the opposite folding walls.
