ABSTRACT:
A reversible container having opposite first and second surfaces may be formed of a single sheet of material. The first surface is folded outward to provide a container e. g., for the shipping, mailing or packing of various articles; provision is made for the disassembly of the container at its destination and for adhesive closure of the everted container for further use with the second surface facing outward, e. g., as a container for recyclable articles. Hand holds and openings in the hinged lid of the container for ease of insertion of articles therein, are also provided; the perforated areas of the lid may be reinforced during shipping by an underlying second sheet, which second sheet is removable at the time of modification to an everted form. The container is preferably formed of recycled corrugated fiberboard material, but may be formed of a variety of other materials such as non-corrugated cardboard or fiberboard, synthetic sheet material, plastics, etc. The everted second surface also provides for decorative patterns, instructions for use, and/or advertising thereon.
