Abstract
A hinge pivotally connects two side wall panels for use as a collapsible container. The hinge has a first leaf hingedly joined to a second leaf. The first leaf and second leaf each have a pair of spaced prehensile panels for receiving an edge of a side wall panel. The prehensile panels have a plurality of inwardly extending tabs. An internal clip is sized to extend through an aperture along the edge of each of the side wall panels. The internal clip engages the tabs interconnecting the spaced prehensile panels and attaches the first leaf and the second leaf to an edge of each of the two side wall panels.
