The shipping container apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of said two parallel lid wall members having two half members includes at least one frangibly integrated separable member, said frangibly integrated separable member is surrounded by a fully frangible third perforation line encircling a periphery of said at least one frangibly integrated separable member to enable complete separation of said at least one frangibly integrated separable member from said at least one lid wall member. 3. The shipping container apparatus of claim 2, wherein said frangibly integrated separable member may be separated from said lid wall member and forms at least one handle aperture through said at least one lid wall member of said lid means. 4. The shipping container apparatus of claim 2, wherein each of said two parallel lid wall members having two half members includes one frangibly integrated separable member, such that each of the two halves of said lid wall member has half of a configuration of said frangibly integrated separable member; wherein said fully frangible third perforation line encircling a periphery of said frangibly integrated separable member is configured as substantially round, oval or any other shape. 5. The shipping container apparatus of claim 4, wherein said frangibly integrated separable member may be separated from said lid wall member and forms one handle aperture through said at least one lid wall member of said lid means, wherein each of the two halves of said lid wall member has half of a configuration of said handle aperture. 6. The shipping container apparatus of claim 1, wherein said apparatus further includes flap opening means in at least said lid means for facilitating movement of said half members, said frangibly integrated partially separable flip members, and said top flap member from a substantially closed position to a substantially open position. 7. The shipping container apparatus of claim 1, wherein said flap opening means comprises: prompting said at least one frangibly integrated separable member, such that said frangibly integrated separable member separates from said fully frangible third perforation line to create a handle aperture; wherein said handle aperture has the same configuration and with substantially same size as the frangibly integrated separable member;pulling the periphery line of said handle aperture and exerting sufficient force to break said first perforation line, such that said two half members adjacent to said frangibly integrated partially separable flip member are movable; andpulling said frangibly integrated partially separable flip member on the side with said broken first perforation line, such that said second perforation line overlapping with said folding line vertical to said lid top member between two adjacent lid wall members is broken, wherein said frangibly integrated partially separable flip members are moveable, and wherein said frangibly integrated partially separable flip members are attached to said top flap member during the movement. 8. The shipping container apparatus of claim 7, wherein said flap opening means further comprises: spreading all said half members, said top flap member attached frangibly integrated partially separable flip members and unfolding said opposing lid side walls, such that all facets of said lid means are laid flat in a single panel in one dimension. 9. The shipping container apparatus of claim 1, wherein said at least one top flap member has a substantially inverted trapezoidal configuration. 10. The shipping container apparatus of claim 9, wherein said top flap member has a height slightly shorter than or equivalent to the height of said frangibly integrated partially separable flip member. 11. The shipping container apparatus of claim 1, wherein said lid means has two side wall members, a front wall member, and a back wall member. 12. The shipping container apparatus of claim 11, wherein said tray means has two side wall members, a front wall member, and a back wall member. 13. The shipping container apparatus according to claim 11, wherein: said lid means includes opposing lid front wall member and lid back wall member, each of said lid front wall member and lid back wall member including a corresponding frangibly integrated separable member; andsaid tray means includes opposing tray front wall member and tray back wall member, each of said tray front wall member and tray back wall member including a corresponding frangibly integrated separable member, each said frangibly integrated separable member of said tray means overlaps with corresponding frangibly integrated separable member of lid means;wherein removal of corresponding frangibly integrated separable member of said lid means and tray means forms a handle aperture enabling carrying the goods in said shipping apparatus comprising both said lid means and said tray means; wherein said lid means is positioned attachable to at least a corresponding portion of said tray means, and wherein said lid means is positionable over or inside said tray means. 14. The shipping container apparatus of claim 1, wherein said top flap member articulates from lid top wall member at a second fold line and is attached to said two frangibly integrated partially separable flip members using an adhesive capable of effecting a paperboard to paperboard bond disposed therebetween. 15. The shipping container apparatus of claim 14, wherein said adhesive comprises a cold resin adhesive. 16. The shipping container apparatus according to claim 14, wherein said adhesive comprises a hot-melt adhesive. 17. A shipping container apparatus in unfolded position for storage or recycling, and comprising: a central panel in the shape of a quadrilateral and having two pairs of opposed ends;a first wall panel connected to said central panel by a first hinge line, said first wall panel including a pair of opposed wall flaps having a top edge, a bottom edge, an inside edge and an outside edge, with each said wall flap being connected to said first wall panel by a pair of second hinge lines along each said inside edge, wherein said first and said second hinge lines are substantially perpendicular to one another;a second wall panel connected to said central panel by a third hinge line, said second wall panel including a pair of opposed wall flaps, with each said wall flap being connected to said second wall panel by a pair of fourth hinge lines, wherein said first and third hinge lines are located on opposed ends of said central panel and are substantially parallel to one another and wherein said third and fourth hinge lines are substantially perpendicular to one another;a pair of central flap members, connected to opposed sides of said central panel by a pair of fifth hinge lines, wherein each of said pair of fifth hinge lines is substantially continuous with at least one of said second and fourth hinge lines;each of said first and second wall panels further including a first free edge beginning at said first or third hinge line and extending in a direction perpendicular to said first or third hinge line and terminating at a stopping point along at least a portion of one of said second or fourth hinge lines, the inside edge of said first or second wall flap further comprising a second free edge; and wherein at least one of said wall flaps includes a third line of weakness located between said second free edge and said bottom edge, said third line of weakness forming the shape of a handhold and extending from said outer edge toward said inside edge, turning toward said bottom edge and turning back again toward said out edge. 18. The shipping container apparatus of claim 17, wherein the shape formed by said third line of weakness is selected from the group consisting of a semi-circle, a quadrilateral, and a triangle. 19.
