The present application contemplates an adjustable volume storage container. The container is formed from two panels ( 10 ). The panels are made from a heavy duty paper board or corrugated cardboard, or the like, and are foldable. The panels ( 10 ) are prefabricated, each having a slot array ( 70 ) and two tabs ( 72, 74 ). The panels ( 10 ) are also cut to form sub-panels. The panels ( 10 ) are folded along lines ( 40 ) and ( 42 ) so that the tabs ( 72, 74 ) of one panel ( 10 ) can mate with the slot array ( 70 ) of the other panel ( 10 ). The particular slot selected determines the length of the container. Once the tabs ( 72, 74 ) are mated with the slot arrays ( 70 ), the bottom sub-panels ( 62, 64, 66 ) are folded under and fastened to form the container bottom. The container is filled, and then the upper sub-panels ( 50, 52, 54 ) are folded over and fastened creating the container top.
