Abstract

A reusable container for shipping an object. The container has at least an interior and an opening. A flap portion, attached to an upper edge of a container wall, includes a body portion, and an extension portion attached to the body portion. The extension portion includes two adhesive portions. A tear strip, defined by perforations in the extension portion, is defined between the two adhesive portions. When the flap portion moves to a closed position, the body portion covers the opening, and the edge portion moves down into contact with one of the walls, being fixed to the wall by one of the adhesive portions. The tear strip can be torn away, tearing away the one of the adhesive portions fixing the extension portion to the wall, without damaging the other adhesive portion. The container can be re-used, by using the undamaged adhesive portion to fix the extending portion to the wall.
