Abstract
Collapsible container (1) for transport and storage, which container includes a carrying base part (20), collapsible side walls (30). The side walls (30) are moveably attached to the base part (20). Adjacent side walls (30) are inter-connectable. At least two long side walls (30I and 30II) each are provided with a first and a second horizontal folding line (31 and 32 respectively) by being provided with hinges (3). The first horizontal folding line (31) constitutes the lower end (33) of the side wall (30) at which the side wall (30) connects with the base part (20). The second horizontal folding line (32), which divides the side wall (30) into an upper side wall part (30U) and a lower side wall part (30L), is placed at a distance from the first horizontal folding line (31), between the lower end (33) and upper rim (34) of the side walls (30). The two horizontal folding lines (31 and 32 respectively) are mainly parallel.
