ABSTRACT:
Aspects of the present invention feature a storage container formed from cardboard material. This particular storage container has a rectangular base unit having a front wall folded upwardly along a folded front edge of the rectangular base, a back wall folded upwardly along a folded back edge of the rectangular base with at least one cover slot and integral cover secure flap extending from within the at least one cover slot. On the top of the storage container, a outer cover panel extension to the front wall is folded in a spaced and parallel relationship to the rectangular base along a folded top edge of the front wall and having at least one cover tuck flap with an integral cover secure slot both cooperating with the at least one cover slot and integral cover secure flap respectively. Under the cardboard outer cover panel is an inner cover panel extension to the back wall folded along a folded top edge of the back wall in a spaced and parallel relationship to the rectangular base. On the sides of the storage container is a pair of front side panels each extending laterally and inwardly along a scored side edge of the front wall and having side panel tab on the top edge of each front side panel. The sides are reinforced with a pair of back side panels each extending laterally and inwardly along a scored edge from a side edge of the back wall and having side panel tab on the top edge of each front side panel. Wrapping around these side panels is a pair of end walls each extending upwardly along a scored side edge of the rectangular base. An end wall has at least one slotted tab at the lower end of each end wall and an inner end wall extending along a double-scored top edge of each end wall folded inwardly and downwardly around the top end of each end wall and wrapping around a front side panel and a back side panel while having a slotted tuck flap extension designed with at least one slot to cooperate and lock into the at least one slotted tab at the lower end of each end wall.
