1. A self-erecting box system comprising:
a hollow cuboid adapted to transition from a collapsed configuration to an erected cuboid-shaped configuration and/or from the erected cuboid-shaped configuration to the collapsed configuration, the cuboid including a top face, a bottom face, a first side face, a second side face, a third side face, and a fourth side face defining an inner volume, a first edge formed between the first and second faces, a second edge formed between the second and third faces, a third edge formed between the third and fourth faces, and a fourth edge formed between the fourth and first faces;
an elastic member with a first end coupled to the second edge and a second end opposite the first end coupled to the fourth edge and applying an inward force to the second edge and to the fourth edge;
the top face including a first top portion and a second top portion adapted to physically separate from one another about a first dividing line extending across the top face from the first edge to the third edge;
the bottom face including a first bottom portion and a second bottom portion adapted to physically separate from one another about a second dividing line extending across the bottom face from the first edge to the third edge; and
the first dividing line parallel to the second dividing line when the cuboid is in the erected cuboid-shaped configuration.
