Abstract
A collapsible pallet container apparatus for the containment of various articles including bulk materials. A container portion attached to a pallet includes automatic collapse prompting and deployment features for facilitating the collapse and deployment of the container thereby minimizing the labor effort and number of operations required for each operation. The container further contains a lower periphery that is completely and automatically sealed when in the deployed position so as to prevent migration of articles or materials from within the container to the surrounding environment.
