Claim 14:
15. A self-erecting box system comprising:
a hollow cuboid adapted to transition from a collapsed configuration to an erected cuboid-shaped configuration and/or from the erected cuboid-shaped configuration to the collapsed configuration, the cuboid defined by a top face, a bottom face, a first side face, a second side face, a third side face, and a fourth side face defining an inner volume, a first edge formed at a first intersection between the first and second faces, a second edge formed at a second intersection between the second and third faces, a third edge formed at a third intersection between the third and fourth faces, and a fourth edge formed at a fourth intersection between the fourth and first faces;
an elastic member including a first end coupled to the second edge and a second end coupled to the fourth edge, the elastic member extending across the inner volume between the second edge and the fourth edge and applying an inward force to the first edge and the second edge;
wherein when the hollow cuboid is in the collapsed configuration, the inward force applied by the elastic member causes the hollow cuboid to transition from the collapsed configuration to the erected cuboid-shaped configuration; and
wherein the first edge, the second edge, the third edge, and the fourth edge are all parallel with one another when the cuboid is in the erected cuboid-shaped configuration and when the cuboid is in the collapsed configuration.
