An unassembled transport and storage container which is stackable when assembled, comprising:
- a foldable container blank having a bottom, two side walls each foldable about a respective first folding line, two end walls each foldable about a respective second folding line, the side walls and the end walls being of a predetermined same thickness, four corner flaps each foldable inwardly at a respective one of the side walls or the end walls about a respective third folding line, a respective turnover rim at a top edge of each of the side walls and end walls, on each of the side walls and end walls a respective score parallel to the top edge of the side wall or the end wall, and each of the turnover rims being configured to be folded outwardly about a respective one of the scores and against the respective side wall or end wall at the top edge of which the turnover rim is located to form a rim thickness twice the predetermined same thickness of the side walls and the end walls;
- stacking profiles each configured to be attached over a respective one of the turnover rims of the side walls and the end walls and comprising in transverse cross-section, an inner leg and an outer leg, the inner and outer legs connected by connecting structure only at their proximal ends and otherwise spaced from each other to define a space configured to receive a respective one of said turnover rims when said turnover rim has been outwardly folded and a hook rim integrally formed on an inner side of the outer leg and configured to be latched over a longitudinal edge of a respective one of the outwardly folded turnover rims, and an stacking rim integrally formed on and surmounting the stacking profile connecting structure;
- further comprising corner pieces configured to be received between ends of adjacent pairs of the stacking profiles, wherein
- each corner piece comprises a base body having a stacking rim surmounting the base body and configured to align with the stacking rims of the stacking profiles;
- two insertion profiles are integrally formed on the base body perpendicular to each other and each of the insertion profiles has an angled profile section at a distal end thereof, thickness of each of the insertion profiles, in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the respective side wall or end wall, other than at the angled profile section thereof being same as the wall thickness;
- a respective profile recess is formed in each of the side walls and end walls, each of the angled profile sections is of such width and length in a plane parallel to a plane of the respective side wall or end wall in which the respective profile recess is formed so that each of the respective angled profile sections forms a positive fit with the respective profile recess of the respective one the side walls and the end walls and each of the angled sections is of a thickness, in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the respective side wall or end wall, which is twice the wall thickness;
- and
- the stacking profiles are configured to extend over the insertion profiles flush against the stacking rims of the corner pieces.
