ABSTRACT:
A storage box formed from a single folded sheet, comprising a bottom panel, and two side panels. Each side panel is integrally formed with a side edge of the bottom panel and has a sloped front edge and a straight back edge so that the free end of each side panel is narrower than the side edge of the bottom panel. A front panel is integrally formed with the front edge of the bottom panel and has a free end that is wider than said front edge of said bottom panel. A rear panel is integrally formed with the rear edge of the bottom panel and has a free end that is wider than the rear edge of said bottom panel. A plurality of flaps are integrally formed with the front and back edges of each of the side panels. A slit is arranged along the front and back edges of one of the side panels, and an insertion flap is attached to one of the front and back edges of the other side panel. The box can be assembled by folding the front panel, rear panel, and side panels perpendicular to the bottom panel, folding the flaps on the side panel having the slits over the front and rear panels, folding the flaps on the other side panel over the flaps on the side panel having the slits, and inserting the insertion flaps into the slits to secure the box in an assembled state. When assembled, the box is narrower at the bottom than at the top and the front of the box is angled rearward from vertical.
