Collapsible Container Set

A collapsible container set, comprising:

• a first container having a first container base and a first container rim, with a first container sidewall extending from the first container base to the first container rim to define a first container interior space, the first container sidewall having a plurality of first container living hinges configured to allow the first container to be positioned in either an expanded position or a collapsed position, the first container having a first container collapsed height when in the collapsed position;
• a second container having a second container base and a second container rim, with a second container sidewall extending from the second container base to the second container rim to define a second container interior space, the second container sidewall having a plurality of second container living hinges configured to allow the second container to be positioned in either an expanded position or a collapsed position, the second container having a second container collapsed height when in the collapsed position, the second container when in the collapsed position having at least one second container upper folded living hinge and at least one second container lower folded living hinge from among the plurality of second container living hinges;
• a third container having a third container base and a third container rim, with a third container sidewall extending from the third container base to the third container rim to define a third container interior space, the third container sidewall having a plurality of third container living hinges configured to allow the third container to be positioned in either an expanded position or a collapsed position, the third container having a third container collapsed height when in the collapsed position, the third container when in the collapsed position having at least one third container upper folded living hinge and at least one third container lower folded living hinge from among the plurality of third container living hinges;
• wherein, when the first container is in the collapsed position, the second container is in the collapsed position, and the third container is in the collapsed position, the first container is nestable within the second container and the second container is nestable within the third container, such that the plurality of second container living hinges are positioned vertically below the third container rim.

A collapsible container set, comprising:

• a first container having a first container base and a first container rim, with a first container sidewall extending vertically upwardly and outwardly from the first container base to the first container rim to define a first container interior space, the first container sidewall having a plurality of first container living hinges configured to allow the first container to be positioned in either an expanded position or a collapsed position, the first container having a first container collapsed height when in the collapsed position, the first container further having a first container handle extending radially outward from the first container rim;
• a second container having a second container base and a second container rim, with a second container sidewall extending vertically upwardly and outwardly from the second container base to the second container rim to define a second container interior space, the second container sidewall having a plurality of second container living hinges configured to allow the second container to be positioned in either an expanded position or a collapsed position, the second container having a second container collapsed height when in the collapsed position, the second container when in the collapsed position having at least one second container upper folded living hinge and at least one second container lower folded living hinge from among the plurality of second container living hinges, the second container further having a second container handle extending radially outward from the second container rim;
• a third container having a third container base and a third container rim, with a third container sidewall extending vertically upwardly and outwardly from the third container base to the third container rim to define a third container interior space, the third container sidewall having a plurality of third container living hinges configured to allow the third container to be positioned in either an expanded position or a collapsed position, the third container having a third container collapsed height when in the collapsed position, the third container when in the collapsed position having at least one third container upper folded living hinge and at least one third container lower folded living hinge from among the plurality of third container living hinges;
• wherein, when the first container is in the collapsed position, the second container is in the collapsed position, and the third container is in the collapsed position, the first container is nestable within the second container and the second container is nestable within the third container;
• and
• further wherein when the first container is in the collapsed position and nested within the second container when the second container is in the collapsed position while the second container is also nested within the third container when the third container is in the collapsed position, the first container handle is in contact with the second container rim at a first contact interface and the second container handle is in contact with the third container rim at a second contact interface.
