# Storage system and storage container

## Abstract

A storage container is provided for the storage of one or more items in a storage and retrieval system. The storage container comprises a metallic container body comprising a bottom wall and sidewalls and end walls arranged in a box-like structure having an open end for receiving the one or more items within the box-like structure. The metal container body is formed from two sheet metal blanks, each of the two sheet metal blanks comprising a base portion and outwardly extending panel portions, the outwardly extending panel portions of each of the two sheet metal blanks being folded along respective fold lines relative to the base portion forming the sidewalls and end walls. The two sheet metal blanks are arranged such that the base portion of each of the two sheet metal blanks overlap to form a double layered bottom wall and single walled side walls and end walls.
