Abstract: ABSTRACT COLLAPSIBLE POPSICLE PACKAGING WITH INTEGRATED DRIP-COLLECTING CUP MECHANISM The present invention discloses a collapsible popsicle packaging system (100) comprising a packaging body (110) fabricated from a single blank of food-grade moisture-resistant material incorporating an accordion-fold sidewall (120) with a plurality of accordion pleats (122), a bottom panel (130) with a locking base mechanism (140) comprising a locking tab (142) and a locking slot (144), a perforated top panel (150) with a perforation line (155) and a stick exit aperture (160), and a popsicle receiving cavity (165). In the pre-use sealed state, the packaging body (110) presents a conventional compact rectangular form with the accordion-fold sidewall (120) in the extended configuration. Upon tearing the perforated top panel (150) along the perforation line (155) and applying lateral compressive force, the accordion-fold sidewall (120) collapses vertically and the locking base mechanism (140) engages to form a stable, leak- resistant cup form (180) that collects melt drip from the popsicle (170) during consumption. The system eliminates the need for supplementary drip-catching accessories and transforms the primary packaging into a functional consumption aid without additional components or tools. [
