## Abstract

A modular container has a container body that includes a bottom panel and four side panels that are hingably and flexibly attached to four edges of the bottom panel. The side panels have elongated piping support structures that extend along each side edge of the side panels and are attached together in an assembled positioned through corner couplers with matched elongated channels that fit over the elongated piping support structures to secure the adjacent side panels into and upright and assembled position.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A modular container comprising:
a) a container body that includes a bottom panel and four side panels that are hingably of flexibly attached to four edges of the bottom panel;
b) elongated piping support structures that extend along each side edge of the four side panels; and
c) corner couplers with matched continuous elongated channels that have a cross-sectional shape that matches the cross-sectional shape of the elongated piping support structures, such that the elongated piping support structures can be fitted into the into the matched continuous elongated channels and the corner couples can be pushed down along two opposed elongated piping support structures on adjacent side panels and secure the adjacent side panels into and upright and assembled position.
