A collapsible box comprising:
- a body having a front panel, a bottom panel, a back panel, a top panel, a closing panel, a left folding panel, and a right folding panel;
- a back folding panel connected to said left folding panel along a first common edge, and also connected to said right folding panel along a second common edge, wherein said back folding panel comprises a center panel and a first and second side panel, wherein said center panel includes a third common edge with said first side panel and includes a fourth common edge with said second side panel, wherein said back folding panel collapses along said third and fourth common edges,
- wherein said left folding panel is connected to said bottom panel along a fifth common edge, and is connected to said front panel along a sixth common edge, wherein said left folding panel comprises a third and fourth side panel, wherein said third side panel includes a seventh common edge with said fourth side panel for collapsing said left folding panel,
- wherein said right folding panel is connected to said bottom panel along an eighth common edge, and is connected to said front panel along a ninth common edge, wherein said right folding panel comprises a fifth and sixth side panel, wherein said fifth side panel includes a tenth common edge with said sixth side panel for collapsing said right folding panel,
- wherein each of said left folding panel, right folding panel, back folding panel, front panel, bottom panel, and top panel enclose an interior space of said body,
- wherein edges of said bottom panel are connected to edges of said front panel, and said back panel,
- wherein a bottom edge of said top panel is connected to said back panel and a top edge of said top panel is connected to said closing panel;
- and
- wherein said center panel is permanently connected to an interior surface of said back panel for causing said back panel to be collapsed along said third and fourth common edges,
- wherein collapsing said back panel away from front panel and collapsing said front panel towards said back panel causes said collapsible box to be collapsed in one motion.
