ABSTRACT:
A container includes a box comprising a bottom wall and four side walls. Each of the side walls is pivotably connected to the bottom wall. Each of the side walls has at least one bore that mates with at least one bore in an adjacent side wall when the box is folded into shape. An insert has a bottom wall and two side walls. Each of the insert side walls has at least one bore that mates with the at least one bore in the box side walls. A fastener extends through each of the mating bores in the box side walls and the insert bores to maintain the shape of the box and to maintain the position of the insert within the box. Another container includes a box comprising a bottom wall and four side walls. Each of the side walls is pivotably connected to the bottom wall. Two of the side walls each have a pair of flaps that are pivotably connected to the side wall on opposite edges. Each of the flaps has an inwardly facing surface and an outwardly facing surface. Each of the flaps has a piece of two sided tape adhered to either the outwardly facing surface or the inwardly facing surface so that the flaps are configured to be adhesively connected to an adjacent one of the other two side walls to maintain the shape of the box.
