A parallelepipedal storage container is formed of two sections. Each section is rectangular and is foldable to separate the section into a central base wall and two side walls. The adjacent base and side walls can be oriented ar right angles to each other to form a U-shape. The storage container is formed by mating the two U-shaped sections so that the side edges of the side walls of the U-shape on one section are disposed adjacent the side edges of the side walls of the other U-shape to form edges of the storage container. The two sections are secured together using a tongue and groove connection to mate the sections along respective edges.

A parallelepipedal storage container comprising substantially identical first and second sections, wherein each section is rectangular and has a weakened portion to enable the section to fold into a central base wall and two adjacent side walls which can be oriented at right angles to the base wall to form a U shape, wherein each side walls has an end adjacent the base wall and a free end opposite the end adjacent the base wall, and wherein the storage container is formed by folding the first section into a U shape, folding the second section into a U shape, turning the second section upside down and rotating the second section 90°with respect to the first section, and mating the two sections so that the side edges of the side walls of the U shape on one section are disposed adjacent the side edges of the side walls of the other U shape to form edges of the storage container; and means, formed integrally as one piece with the sections, for guiding and securing the two sections together along respective edges to form the container, wherein the guiding and securing means guides the first section with respect to the second section during assembly of the two sections and secures the two sections together and comprises a first edge guide extending along the part of the length of each side edge of each side wall adjacent the base wall at a substantially right angle with the side wall, wherein the first edge guide and the side wall define a groove, and wherein the grove of one side wall on one of the sections receives the respective part of the side edge adjacent the free end of the adjacent side wall on the other section when the sections are mated.
