  • Patent number: 4261503
    Abstract: A box having side walls (10, 12, 14, 16), a first set of panels (20, 22, 24, 26) along the top edges of the side walls and a second set of panels (28, 30, 32, 34) along the bottom edges of the side walls. The first set of panels overlap one another to form a box top and the second set of panels similarly overlap to form a box base. The first set of panels are so shaped that the box top has some areas which are above the level of the remainder of the top. The panels forming the box base also provide areas which are above the level of the remainder of the base. Said areas of the top and base are of the same shape and layout so that when two boxes are stacked, said areas of the top are received in said areas of the base.
