A foldable intermediate bulk container with a preferred capacity of about 1000 liters, capable of being stacked both in its erected position and in its folded position, comprises a rectangular base (10), four walls (21, 22, 23, 24) and a lid (35, 36) which are all interconnected. Each wall is pivotally connected to the base (10), at least three of them at different heights from the support (17) of the base, ascending by at least one wall thickness. It is preferably adapted for liquid or free-flowing powder. The base (10) may incorporate the function of a pallet into the structure of the container and may include means for facilitating emptying the container. The container may use an inner pocket (20) for the liquid or powder.

A foldable container having a flexible inner pocket adapted for the storage and transport of a liquid or free flowing powder material, said container capable of being stacked both in its erected position and in its folded position, said container comprising a rectangular base, four walls and a lid which are all inter-connected, the base (10) having four sides (11, 12, 13, 14) and a support (17), and having raised portions along at least two of the sides of the base, each wall (21, 22, 23, 24) being pivotally connected to the base (10). at least three of the walls being connected at differing heights from the support (17) of the base (10), said heights ascending by at least one wall thickness, each connection (33) having a pivot axis to allow the walls (21, 22, 23, 24) to be pivoted from a position perpendicular to the support (17) of the rectangular base (10) to a position parallel to said support (17), the combined height in the erected position of each wall (21, 22, 23, 24) with the side (11, 12, 13, 14) of the base to which said wall is connected being substantially the same, and each wall additionally dimensioned to lay within the area defined by the outer edges of the base when the container is in the folded position, and further, said lid being divided into two parts (35, 36) such that the combined length of the wall (24) which will form the uppermost part of the folded container and the portion (36) of the lid which is hinged thereon, is substantially equal to the length of the rectangular base (10), thus providing a substantially flat cover for the folded container, and said container further including means for facilitating the emptying of the container said facilitation means having a sloping internal bottom surface inclined in the shape of a V from two opposite sides to a median line, parallel to said sides, the median line itself being inclined from a third side of the base to the opposite side.
