ABSTRACT:
A collapsible box having sidewalls secured together at the corners of the box by first and second loop elements fastened to two adjacent sidewalls. As disclosed, each loop element includes two tapered end portions adjacent one another driven into a sidewall, to secure the loop element thereto, and two elongated portions extending along the sidewall from the tapered end portions, terminating in a loop at a corner of the box. The sidewalls of the box meet at the corner to produce a recess, and a fastening wire is passed through the loops of the loop elements on the two adjacent sidewalls, with the ends of the wire twisted together to secure the two loop elements to one another in the recess. The forces produced serve to hold the box together and to hold the loop elements against the sidewalls. The loop elements are also stapled to the sidewalls.
