A portable utility pen having components forming both the utility pen and, when packaged, an internal skeleton to the container at the corners and sides when packaged so as to minimize crushing of the container under pressure due to vertical storage or display of a plurality of the containers. For forming the pen, the components comprise plurality of upper rails that have complimentary securing fittings and form a first essentially rectangular configuration defining a first gap when said upper rails are fitted together and a plurality of lower rails having complimentary securing fittings for forming a second essentially rectangular configuration defining a second gap spaced below said first gap when said lower rails are fitted together. The rectangular configurations are joined in a spaced apart arrangement by a plurality of upright members that have complimentary fittings with the rails at the corners thereof forming the rectangular relationships. The gaps form an opening filled by a frame member having a gate swingable between open and shut positions. The frame member is removably secured to the first and second rectangular configurations.
