         2 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein in an expanded form the flexible bottom, side, front, rear, and top panels, and interior rigid plastic panels form at least one of a substantially square cubicle and rectangular cubicle container comprising an interior volume to store items. 
     
     
         3 . The article of  claim 2 , wherein the dedicated writing surface comprises a material configured to receive writing by the writing instrument and may be subsequently erasable, and the writing instrument comprises at least one of a chalk-type material and dry erase marker. 
     
     
         4 . The article of  claim 3 , wherein the container comprises an external handle affixed to at least one of the flexible bottom, side, front, rear, and top panels for carrying the container. 
     
     
         5 . The article of  claim 4 , wherein the flexible bottom, side, front, rear, and top panels comprises at least one of a cloth and woven synthetic material. 
     
     
         6 . The article of  claim 5 , wherein the flexible bottom, side, front, rear, and top panels collapse to provide a substantially flat configuration. 
     
     
         7 . The article of  claim 6 , wherein the flexible top panel comprises one of the plurality of rigid plastic panels integrated to it. 
     
     
         8 . The article of  claim 7 , wherein at least one of the flexible bottom, side, front, rear, and top panels comprises at least one of a pocket and sleeve at an exterior of the flexible bottom, side, front, rear, and top panels. 
     
     
         9 . A collapsible storage container article comprising:
 a flexible bottom panel;   a flexible first side panel, a flexible second side panel, a flexible front panel and a flexible rear panel;   a flexible top panel,
 wherein an exterior of at least one of the flexible bottom, first side, second side, front, rear and top panels comprises a dedicated writing surface capable of receiving writing by a writing instrument; and, 
 wherein the article further comprises a plurality of internal rigid plastic rear, front and top panels that are respectively integrated to the flexible rear panel, the flexible front panel and the flexible top panel, and, 
 wherein;
 an internal rigid plastic first side panel couples at a first side plastic panel edge to a first side intersection between the flexible first side panel and the flexible rear panel, 
 an internal rigid plastic second side panel couples at a second side plastic panel edge to a second side intersection between the flexible second side panel and the flexible rear panel, and 
 an internal rigid plastic bottom panel couples at a bottom plastic panel edge to a bottom intersection between the flexible rear panel and the flexible bottom panel. 
 
   
     
     
         10 . The article of  claim 9 , wherein in an expanded form the flexible bottom, side, front, rear, and top panels, and interior rigid plastic panels form at least one of a substantially square cubicle and rectangular cubicle container comprising an interior volume to store items. 
     
     
         11 . The article of  claim 10 , wherein the dedicated writing surface comprises a material configured to receive writing by the writing instrument and may be subsequently erasable, and the writing instrument comprises at least one of a chalk type material and dry erase marker. 
     
     
         12 . The article of  claim 11  wherein the container comprises an external handle affixed to at least one of the flexible bottom, first side, second side, front, rear, and top panels for carrying the container. 
     
     
         13 . The article of  claim 12 , wherein the flexible bottom, first side, second side, front, rear, and top panels comprises at least one of a cloth and woven synthetic material. 
     
     
         14 . The article of  claim 13 , wherein the flexible bottom, first side, second side, front, rear, and top panels collapse to provide a substantially flat configuration. 
     
     
         15 . The article of  claim 14 , wherein at least one of the flexible bottom, first side, second side, front, rear, and top panels comprises at least one of a pocket and sleeve at an exterior of the flexible bottom, first side, second side, front, rear, and top panels. 
     
     
         16 . A method for manufacturing a collapsible storage container article comprising:
