Abstract:
A container for storage and shipping of objects includes a lid assembly having two configurations and an open-top box. In the first configuration the container can be loaded with objects for storage or collection while limiting physical and visual access to the contents of the box and in the second configuration, the container is sealed for shipping. The lid assembly contains side flaps which may be used to stabilize the lid assembly in the first configuration, and in the second configuration, secure the lid assembly to the open-top box. Preferably, the container is formed from one contiguous blank. The blank is preferably made of corrugated cardboard but may be formed from any substantially rigid material. The container is thermally protected with a flame-retardant treatment, such as a thermally protective lining.

Claim (Index 10):
A blank of substantially rigid material comprising:\n a first plurality of contiguous panels joined along a plurality of fold lines and foldable into an open-top box having an upper edge; and a second plurality of contiguous panels attached to the first plurality of foldable panels along a lid assembly fold line and including a plurality of fold lines such that the second plurality of contiguous panels is foldable into a lid assembly, the second plurality of contiguous panels comprising:\n a back panel; \n a front panel including an opening; and \n a pair of side flaps adjacent to at least one of the back panel and the front panel and demarcated by a pair of fold lines; \n a thermally protective lining, consisting essentially of polyethylene terephthalate, secured to at least some of the panels of the first plurality of contiguous panels or the second plurality of contiguous panels, wherein the lid assembly has a first configuration in which the lid assembly is coupled to the top flap such that the opening in the front panel provides access to an interior of the open-top box with the pair of side flaps folded to form a side closure to the lid assembly; and wherein the lid assembly has a second configuration in which the pair of side flaps secure the lid assembly to the open-top box such that the container is sealed for shipment.
