Abstract

A collapsible, bulk shipping container with a take-out front panel that is made up of an inverted tray-type rectangular bottom, a collapsible three-sided body, one end of which is telescopically received in the tray-type bottom, and a removable take-out front panel that forms a tubular body with the three-sided body. The collapsible three-sided body is collapsible from a fully open position, in which it is U-shaped in configuration and in which it and the removable take-out panel form a tubular body which fills the tray-type bottom, into a collapsed condition in which it lies against one side of the tray-type bottom, one side of the collapsible three-sided body, the middle side, being secured to one side of the tray-type bottom. When the collapsible three-sided body has been collapsed, it can be folded over to lie against the tray-type bottom in a compact configuration for ease of the shipment or storage of at least these components of the bulk shipping container. The tray-type bottom and the collapsible three-sided bottom are preferably formed from unitary blanks of corrugated fiberboard, and the removable take-out panel is preferably formed from a blank of corrugated fiberboard with opposed minor panels foldably attached to the edges thereof to facilitate the retention of the removable take-out panel in the assembled bulk shipping container.
