A foldable container comprises a box including a floor and sidewalls attached to one another to present a chamber. The box further includes foldable panels that shift from a retracted position within the chamber to an upright extended position. The extended panels serve to expand the chamber for containing a liquid or solid bulk material. The extended panels are interconnected by joints that resist tampering and that are tamper-evident. The container further includes a retaining assembly for securely holding the material in the chamber and a lid for covering the chamber. The lid cooperates with the panels to resist tampering and to be tamper-evident. The container also includes stanchions for selectively stacking at least two containers when the containers are storing the bulk material.

What is claimed is: 1. A collapsible container configured for holding a bulk material load therein and operable to restrict tampering with the load, the collapsible container comprising:a box including a floor and a sidewall surrounding the floor, with the floor and sidewall being interconnected to form a load-receiving chamber that is operable to receive the bulk material load,said sidewall presenting an upper edge spaced upwardly from the floor,said box including a plurality of panels shiftably attached to a remainder of the box at a location spaced vertically between the floor and the upper edge and projecting uprightly above the sidewall in an extended position to expand the chamber, with the panels presenting uppermost edge sections that form an open container top and with the plurality of panels operable to be folded from the extended position to a retracted position, said plurality of panels being entirely within the chamber in the retracted position; anda lid including a rim that receives the uppermost edge sections, with the lid overlying the open container top to enclose the chamber,said sidewall including a ledge that is spaced within the chamber and extends along the upper edge with the lid operable to be received on the ledge to enclose the chamber when the plurality of panels are in the retracted position,said plurality of panels including a pair of adjacent panels with interconnected joint elements,said joint elements extending substantially from the upper edge to the rim and defining a seam therebetween,one of said joint elements presenting an external surface that covers the other joint element from the upper edge to the rim to restrict access through the seam and into the chamber.
