ABSTRACT:
An improved tote box construction is disclosed which incorporates a unitary top rail which can be secured along the top edge of the erected walls of the tote box without the benefit of any mechanical fasteners such as rivets or the like. The unitary top rail is secured onto the tote box by a hook on the bottom edge of a channel side wall which engages downwardly folded tabs on the top edge of the walls of the tote box. The unitary top rail has a vertical lip which facilitates the stacking of multiple tote boxes according to the present invention.
