Abstract (en)

A collapsible material handling container (10) of the type for packaging, shipping and inventorying goods including a base (12), a pair of sidewalls (14), and a pair of end walls (16). Each of the walls (14,16) are hingedly connected to the base (12) and movable between a collapsed position wherein the walls (14,16) are folded one on top of the other and an upright position wherein the walls (14,16) extend vertically upward from the base (12) and adjacent walls (14,16) are interlocked together to define a smooth planer interior surface of the container (10). Sidewalls (14) include terminal portions (52) defined by spaced parallel marginal members (62) and reinforced flanges (64) extending therebetween to form box-like sections while providing a smooth planar surface facing the interior of the container (10).
