Packaging system for frozen allograft tissue forms

A container for storing processed small allograft tissue under extreme freezing temperature conditions comprising:

• a central rectangular panel defining a throughgoing aperture, two side panels integrally formed with said central panel located on opposite sides of said central panel, each of said side panels having a fold line formed therein substantially oriented along an axis of a side wall of said central panel and a second fold line formed therein positioned a distance away from said first fold line and parallel to said first fold line to form a container side when folded with the distal ends of each side panel being positioned adjacent each other when in a final folded position, a slot cut in each side panel substantially along said second fold line adapted to receive fastening tabs;
• a first bottom panel extending from said central panel integrally formed with said central panel, said first bottom panel having a fold line formed therein substantially oriented along a side edge of central panel and a second fold line formed therein positioned a distance away from said first fold line and parallel to said first fold line to form a container side when folded with said first bottom panel defining a notch with stepped ends cut into opposing side walls which fit over respective side panel slots when in a final folded position, each notch being of a length to receive fastening tab from a second bottom panel;
• a second bottom panel extending from said central panel integrally formed with said central panel, said second bottom panel having a fold line formed therein substantially oriented along a side edge of central panel and a second fold line formed therein positioned a distance away from said first fold line parallel to said first fold line to form a container side when folded with the distal end of said second bottom panel overlapping said first bottom panel when in a final folded position, said second bottom panel defining fastening tabs extending outward from opposing side walls which are adapted to be inserted into said side panel slots through said first bottom panel stepped notches, said fastening tabs being notched with an angular cut leading to each notch;
• said central panel, side panels, first and second end panels having at least one waterproof surface.
