1. A box comprising a folded sheet of material, the folded sheet comprising: (a) a storage portion defining an area for receiving items, the storage portion comprising: (i) a bottom panel,(ii) two side panels,(iii) two end panels, and(iv) four corner panels;(b) two handle panels forming a lid and a handle; and(c) a locking panel;(d) wherein the locking panel is adapted to secure the lid in a closed orientation covering the area of the storage portion; and(e) wherein the locking panel is integral with a said corner panel and a said handle panel, (i) with a fold line extending between and dividing the locking panel and the said corner panel, and(ii) with a fold line extending between and dividing the locking panel and the said handle panel. 2. The box of claim 1, wherein the handle includes a locking tab, and the locking panel includes a slot therethrough adapted to receive and retain the locking tab. 3. The box of claim 2, wherein the folded sheet of material includes a water-resistant coating applied to a surface thereof corresponding to an interior surface of the area of the storage portion for use of the box as a cooler. 4. The box of claim 3, wherein a leak point of the box is defined at an uppermost point of a fold line, about which fold line the sheet is folded to define the locking panel, and wherein the locking panel is two-ply. 5. The box of claim 1, wherein no fold line extends between and divides the locking panel and either of the two end panels. 6. The box of claim 1, wherein the folded sheet of material comprises a corrugated material. 7. The box of claim 6, wherein the folded sheet of material comprises cardboard. 8. A box comprising a folded sheet of material, the folded sheet comprising: (a) a bottom panel, side panels, end panels, and corner panels configured to collectively form a storage area;(b) a top panel comprising a lid segment and a handle segment, the handle segment comprising a locking tab; and(c) a locking panel adapted to receive the locking tab of the handle segment for locking engagement of the handle segment;(d) wherein a fold line extends between and divides the locking panel and one of the corner panels. 9. The box of claim 8, wherein no fold line extends between and divides the locking panel and any of the end panels. 10. The box of claim 8, further comprising a second locking panel, and wherein the handle segment further comprises a second locking tab, the second locking panel adapted to receive the second locking tab of the handle segment with a fold line extending between and dividing the second locking panel and another one of the corner panels. 11. The box of claim 8, wherein a fold line extends between and divides the locking panel and the top panel. 12. The box of claim 8, further comprising a second top panel comprising a second lid segment and a second handle segment, the lid segments collectively defining a lid covering the storage area when in a closed orientation. 13. The box of claim 12, wherein the second handle segment comprises a second locking tab, wherein the locking tabs of the handle segments collectively define a two-ply locking tab, and wherein a slot in the locking panel is adapted to receive and retain the two-ply locking tab. 14. The box of claim 8, wherein the folded sheet of material includes a water-resistant coating applied to a surface thereof corresponding to an interior surface of the storage area for use of the box as a cooler; and wherein a leak point of the storage area is defined at an uppermost point of a fold line, about which fold line the sheet is folded to define the locking panel. 15. A box comprising a folded sheet of material, the folded sheet comprising: (a) a bottom panel, side panels, end panels, and corner panels configured to collectively form a storage area;(b) two top panels configured to collectively form a lid, each of the two top panels including locking tabs located at opposite ends thereof, with the locking tabs of the top panels at each of the opposite ends collectively defining a respective two-ply locking tab thereat when the lid is in a closed orientation covering the storage area; and(c) two locking panels each comprising a slot adapted to receive and retain one of the two-ply locking tabs so as to secure the lid in the closed orientation; and(d) wherein each locking panel is integral with a different one of the four corner panels and is integral with one of the two top panels, (i) with a fold line extending between and dividing the locking panel and the said corner panel with which the locking panel is integral, and(ii) with a fold line extending between and dividing the locking panel and the said top panel with which the locking panel is integral. 16. The box of claim 15, wherein no fold line extends between and divides any locking panel and any end panel. 17. The box of claim 15, wherein the locking panels are integral with the same top panel. 18. The box of claim 17, wherein each locking panel is two-ply. 19. The box of claim 15, wherein the folded sheet of material includes a water-resistant coating applied to a surface thereof corresponding to an interior surface of the storage area for use of the box as a cooler. 20. The box of claim 19, wherein a leak point of the storage area is defined at an uppermost point of a fold line, about which fold line the sheet is folded to define one of the locking panels.
