Abstract

A foldable container includes a bottom, side walls that can be folded in, a lid, a closure element that can be moved relative to the lid, at least one first closure element mating piece, and at least one second closure element mating piece. The at least one second closure element mating piece is provided on a portion of the side walls that faces the bottom and/or on the bottom in such a way that, in a storage position of the lid, the at least one second closure element mating piece can interact in a form-fitting manner with the closure element in order to lock the lid in the storage position with the side walls folded in.
