The side plates are disposed on edges of the bottom plate. Any two of the side plates that are adjacent are connected to each other, and the side plates form an accommodating space. A part of the at least one flip segment can be separated from at least one of the bottom plate and the side plates along a segmenting line. The at least one through hole and the at least one flip segment are disposed on at least one of the bottom plate and the side plates. When the bottom plate is folded along the foldable area, the partially separated flip segment is inserted into the through hole to fix the folded bottom plate and the side plates in position.

The present invention relates generally to a container or a carton having a plurality of selectable volumes. The present invention is also directed to a container having a plurality of identified markings to reduce container volume upon partial consumption of content.

The foldable piece of boxing material includes a backing pair of folding lines, a cutaway pair of perforated lines, and a secondary lengthwise-tab-defining folding line. The backing pair of folding lines indicate where the foldable piece of boxing material can be folded to form the backing of the package box. The cutaway pair of perforated lines facilitate the removal of boxing material to reduce the size of the package box. The secondary lengthwise-tab-defining folding line enables the folding of a secondary lengthwise tab for the reduced package box.
