ABSTRACT:
A rectangular collapsible, stackable shipping container is provided that is capable of safely, stably, and securely carrying cargo and is capable of being reliably collapsed to save space when empty. The collapsible shipping container preferably includes a top section assembly, bottom section assembly, opposing end wall assemblies, and opposing horizontally hinged side wall panels that are interconnected and articulated. The opposing side wall panels are formed of at least two articulating longitudinal sections and also articulate with the bottom frame section, folding inwardly and downwardly when collapsed. The opposing end wall assemblies, one of which is configured as a door, articulate with the top roof section and with the bottom frame section, folding inwardly when collapsed. Provision is made for increasing security via the integration of a security device in the container walls. Additionally provision is made for weight-reduction through the utilization of a non-metallic material.
