Abstract

A container for mailing a package or a small parcel to be sent or to be received, which container can be fastened to a door of a property, in particular without structural intervention, includes a base element, a lid element by which a mailing can be placed into the container or be removed from the container, and foldable side walls, by which the base element and the lid element are connected to each other. The lid element and the base element are movable against one another, at least in a vertical direction, by folding or at least partially unfolding the foldable side walls. The foldable side walls form a textile tube vertically extending between the base element and the lid element in the unfolded state, the textile tube defining an interior space with an at least substantially horizontal rectangular cross section.
