Collapsible pallet mounted container

A collapsible container to be fastened to a pallet, the container formed from corrugated paper board and comprising:

• a polygonal carton body formed from a floor panel, two opposed side panels and two opposed end panels, the side and end panels having top and bottom edges;
• the side panel bottom edges being integrally and flexibly connected to the floor panel;
• the floor panel divided by two parallel score lines into a central portion bordered by the two score lines and two outer portions bordered on one edge by the score line and the other edge by the side panel bottom edge;
• the central portion affixed to the pallet and the outer portions foldable along the two parallel score lines from a container's opened position, in which the outer portions are in face-to-face contact with the pallet base, to a container collapsed position, in which the outer portions are folded along the score lines;
• the end panels flexibly connected to the side panels, and bisected by a vertical end panel score line extending from the top to the bottom edge, two end panel portions formed by the vertical score line which lie in the same plane when the container is in the opened position, and foldably inward along the vertical score line until the outside surface of the two end panel portions are in face-to-face contact when in the container collapsed position;
• two bottom flaps each flexibly connected to one of the bottom edges of the end panels;
• the bottom flaps bisected by a bottom flap score line which is contiguous and aligned with the vertical score line;
• the bottom flaps oriented above and in contact with the floor panel when the container is in the opened position, and foldable upward by means of the flexible connection to the bottom edges, until the surface of the bottom flaps contacts the inner surface of the end panels, the bottom flaps then foldable inwardly along the bottom flap score lines in unison with the inward folding along the vertical score lines of the end panels when in the container collapsed position, whereby the opened rectangular container can be collapsed to a flattened storage configuration above the pallet for storage.
