A collapsible crate or container movable between an erect configuration and a collapsed configuration, has a crate member having an upper peripheral rim, a bottom member, two hinged and collapsible opposing side walls and two hinged end walls that collectively define an interior volume when the crate member is in the erect configuration, and a lid member with first and second lid portions and a hinge that releasably couples the first and second lid portions. The crate member and the lid member also includes latch member to releasably latch the lid member to the crate member in a use/deployed position and a stowed position.

A collapsible container for receiving delivery packages is disclosed herein. The collapsible container comprises a bottom, and collapsible front and rear walls. Further, the collapsible container comprises sidewalls mounted to the front wall and the rear wall. Each of the sidewalls comprises a rail. Additionally, the collapsible container comprises an elongated rod slidable along the rails. The collapsible container comprises a top cover mounted to the rear wall. The top cover comprises a hook and an electronic keypad electronically mounted to the hook. The front wall and the rear wall are collapsed and the sidewalls and the top cover are placed over the front wall and the rear wall to form a flat structure such that the collapsible container can be used as a floor mat. The collapsible container provides an efficient and easy to use method for a user to secure delivery packages to their front porch.

A collapsible crate with improved stability and smooth movement includes a top having two opposing top side sections defining top side axes and two opposing top end sections defining top end axes; a bottom having two opposing bottom side edges defining bottom side axes and two opposing bottom end edges defining bottom end axes; first and second opposing end walls, the first and second end walls each being pivotably connected to the top along the corresponding top end sections with interlocking projections; and first and second opposing side walls. The crate includes one or more features which help the crate remain in the erect configuration, for example, a first protrusion protruding from an inner surface of a first side wall, wherein the first protrusion is configured to abut with a portion of a first end wall with an interference fit when the crate is in an erect configuration.

Implementations disclosed and claimed herein provide a customized storage system. In one implementation, a folding crate movable between a storage position and a collapsed position is provided. The crate may include a first frame end of a crate having a first frame, a second frame end having a second frame disposed opposite the first frame, and a base panel fixed to and extending between the second frame. The crate may include swinging panels that are releasably secured to the second frame when the crate is in a storage position and rotatable about a swinging axis at the first frame to move the crate into a collapsed position. The crate may also include folding panels pivotally mounted to the first frame and the second frame that are foldable along a folding axis when the crate moves into the collapsed position.

The disclosed systems and methods relate to an improved collapsible box for securely storing and transporting products. The collapsible box can include a fixed upper frame, a fixed lower frame, a first foldable sidewall, a second foldable sidewall, and two end walls. The collapsible box can have an assembled configuration wherein a first upper section and a first lower section of the first foldable sidewall are substantially coplanar, and a second upper section and a second lower section of the second foldable sidewall are substantially coplanar. The collapsible box can include a collapsed configuration wherein the first foldable sidewall, the second foldable sidewall, and the two end walls are substantially parallel such that the first foldable sidewall is folded and the second foldable sidewall is folded.

Implementations disclosed and claimed herein provide a customized storage system. In one implementation, a folding crate movable between a storage position and a collapsed position is provided. One or more customizable and modular attachments to the storage crates may be provided to attaching to or otherwise mating with a side of a crate. The modular attachments may include a universal connector that connects to an opening in any side of a storage crate and one or more accessories that mate with the universal connector, with each of the accessories having a specific use or utility, such as a cup holder accessory, a handle accessory, a tool holder accessory, and the like.

A container employs a reusable frame that folds into a compact profile that can be stacked for efficient handling between uses, thus greatly reducing waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. The container has external dimensions emulating those of existing single-use containers, including those designed to accommodate pliable plastic pouch liners for transport and dispensing of material. The container includes a front side having a 17.5 radius cutout to accept a 35 mm fitment of a standard pliable plastic pouch liner, and includes a sliding door which captures and holds the liner fast in place. The container includes a top side having a hinged, latching door with one or more hinges to allow insertion and removal of a pliable plastic pouch. A latching, sliding door allowing access to a dispensing nipple of a contained pliable plastic pouch when inserted into the container.
