Straight edge collapsible box system

Abstract

A straight edge collapsible box system including a foldable flat panel and collapsible interior-box. The foldable flat panel has a plurality of sections hingedly coupled at a wall joint and forming the foldable flat panel. The foldable flat panel when erected forms an exterior shell for the interior-box. The top-section of the foldable flat panel forms an interior surface of the shell and the bottom-section of the foldable flat panel forms an exterior surface for the interior-box. The shell comprises a true straight edge along an exterior edge of each the wall joint and a V-groove configuration along an interior edge of each of the wall joints. The V-grooves interlock when the shell is erected, thereby forming a straight the exterior edge of the wall joints of the shell. The foldable flat panel and the interior-box are used in combination to provide a durable box.
