A collapsible shipping container having a base structure provided with upstanding wall catches capable of being received in structurally interfitting relation within respective pockets defined within side walls thereof. A cover structure is provided with depending wall catches which are received within respective upwardly directed pockets of the side walls, thus securing the base structure to the side walls and the cover to the side walls. The cover structure is also provided with shipping catches which are received within shipping catch slots or openings defined within the base structure in the collapsed condition of the shipping container. In this condition the walls are stacked on the base structure and are restrained by the shipping catches and wall catches to secure the walls within the collapsed shipping container for shipping and handling in the collapsed condition thereof. The base structure is provided with spill guard strips which define space perimeters within which are received the lower ends of the wall structures to thus provide an appropriate seal to prevent entry of water and other liquid into the shipping container. The walls of the shipping container interfit at the corners thereof to define structurally interrelated corners that provide exceptional strength and which seal the corner sections against entry of water and other contaminants.

A collapsible shipping container, comprising: (a) base means of generally rectangular form; (b) wall catch means projecting upwardly from said base means; (c) a plurality of generally planar wall elements each forming upper and lower pocket means therein, said wall catch means of said base means being received within said lower pocket means to establish interconnected relation between said base means and said wall elements, said wall elements defining vertical external structural rib means, said upper and lower pocket means being defined within respective upper and lower ends of said external structural rib means; (d) top cover means of generally rectangular form; and (e) wall catch means depending from said top cover and being received within said upper pocket means to establish interfitting relation between said top cover means and said wall elements. A collapsible shipping container comprising: (a) base means of generally rectangular form, said base means defining a plurality of upstanding wall catches spaced along the outer edges thereof; (b) a cover structure of generally rectangular form having a plurality of wall catches depending therefrom; (c) side wall means forming upwardly and downwardlly directed pockets for receiving respective wall catches of said base means and said cover means; and (d) in the collapsed condition of said shipping container said wall means being stacked on said base means and said cover means being assembled to said base means, bringing said wall catches into force transmitting structurally interfitting relation, in said collapsed condition said shipping container being of significantly reduced height for conservation of storage and shipping space in the collapsed condition thereof.
