Abstract
A foldable container includes a base panel and a pair of folding panels coupled with the base panel via a folding device, wherein the folding device includes a first load-carrying arrangement positioned on the base panel and a second load-carrying arrangement provided at the folding panels. The first load-carrying arrangement and the second load-carrying arrangement are pivotally connected to ensure the folding panels being folded with respect to the base panel so as to reduce the volumetric space of the container. Since the second load-carrying arrangement is adapted for withstanding substantial force, the foldable container is adapted to be moved by conventional hangers and stacked in a convenient manner.
