PLASTIC CONTAINER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plastic container having a rigidity where several stages of plastic containers can be stacked up under their assembled state, stored and transported, capable of adapting for a partial damage of the plastic container through its simple replacement, having a less number of component parts and further capable of being folded in flat state, sent back and used again. SOLUTION: Each of the side plates 21 of a plastic container is connected to each other to form a container-like shape. There is provided a hinge structure 23 capable of being folded in a flat state where two side plates are stacked up while being connected to each other. With such an arrangement as above, each of the side plates 21 is made integral in an upward or downward direction to keep a rigidity required for stacking-up operation. Each of the side plates 21 is connected by the hinge structure 23 to enable the side plates to be folded in a thickness corresponding to two side plates and further replacement of only each of the side plates 21 can be carried out.
