Abstract
A collapsible container (30) includes a collapsible section (31), having orthogonally shaped walls (3), each having a fold line (6) extending in a common direction from a bottom corner (7) on a bottom edge (8) to a diagonally opposite top corner (9) on a top edge (10). A base section (32) and top section (33) which may or may not be collapsible are attached to opposite sides of the collapsible section (31). The container (30) may be collapsed or extended by twisting the base section (32) relative to the top section (33). It thus provides, for example, a convenient means for containing products such as concentrates or two pot mixes, which can be mixed within the container (30) when extended.
