ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel collapsible container is provided herein. The container includes a bottom unit defining four corners, two longitudinal edges and two transverse end edges. An angle post is provided at each of the four corners, each angle post having a base portion, each of the base portions having an associated joint which connects the base portion to the bottom unit, each of the posts being foldable by its joint along one of the longi- tudinal edges, each of the joints being arranged inwardly relative to its post along the longitudinal direction. Two end walls are provided, each extending transversely along one of the end edges and connected to two of the posts. Two longitudinal side walls are provided, each including a plurality of side doors, the side doors of each side wall being arranged beside each other and being pivotally connected to at least one adjacent side door, wherein, for each side wall, the side door adjacent to an angle post is pivotally connected thereto, the dimensions of the respective side doors and the pivot arrangements being such that the respective side walls are foldable against each other to form a package having a maximum width not greater than one half the distance between the angle posts of the respective end wall, and such that the package of side doors is pivotable into abut- ment relationship with the respective end wall. An upper unit is supported by the end walls. The container is collapsible by folding the angle posts along the longitudinal edges and against the bottom unit, the base portions moving upwardly and inwardly with respect to their positions prior to the folding of the angle Abstract of the Disclosure (page 2) posts, and the distance between the base portions of the two angle posts when folded along the same longitudinal edge being less than the distance between the end walls before folding, so that a collapsed container fits within a non-collapsed container.
