A collapsible corrugated fiberboard container to be fastened to a pallet. The container has a floor panel, two opposite side panels and two opposite end panels. The side panels and end panels are flexibly connected to each other, and the floor panel is connected to the bottom edges of the side panels. The floor panel is divided by a first score line into two central floor portions of equal length as measured transversely of the first score line and one of which is fixed to the pallet, and by a second floor score line common to the fixed central floor portion and forming an outer floor portion. The end panels are provided with vertical score lines. The bottom flaps are each connected to the bottom edge of the end panels and are also provided with score lines. The first floor score line is arranged approximately mid-way of the pallet. The container can be collapsed due to the flexible connections between the side panels and end panels and the arrangement of the floor score lines so that the container can assume a flattened storage configuration above the pallet when not in use, be of maximum depth when unfolded, and be folded completely within the confines of the pallet when collapse…
