A roll container (100) for improving the volumetric efficiency of empty roll containers in return logistics is herein proposed. The novel roll container has an articulated chassis, which con nects a first side wall (110) to a second side wall (120) such to guide the side walls between a distal mutual position for a de ployed configuration of the roll container and a proximal mutual position for a folded configuration the roll container through an intermediate configuration there between. The chassis compris es a scissor mechanism (130, 140), which maintains the first and second side walls aligned in all configurations of the roll con tainer. The roll container also includes a base (150), which is pivotably attached to a side wall such to be pivoted between a deployed configuration, in which the base extends between the side walls, and a folded configuration, in which the base flanks a side wall. The base (150) features a lip (154) for engaging the scissor mechanism (130, 140) in the deployed configuration of the roll container (100) so as to prevent the scissor mechanism (130, 140) from extending beyond either side wall (110, 120) in the longitudinal dimension.
