A collapsible container (10) for packing, shipping and displaying articles is formed from an integral piece of corrugated kraft, paperboard or similar foldable material. The container (10) includes a plurality of panels which are connected to form a bottom, front, back and exterior sidewalls (18), and preferably also a top. A bellows fold (38) connects each of the exterior sidewalls (18) with at least one of the front and back walls. Each exterior sidewall (18) is provided with a respective interior sidewall (36) which together support a horizontal ledge (20). The horizontal ledges (20) are useful for stacking multiple cartons in vertical alignment and can support containers that are somewhat out of registry. Locking tabs (48) extend from the bellows panels (40, 42) of the container (10) to limit lateral deflection of the sides and deformation of the container (10).
