ABSTRACT:
A utility tote container comprising a base panel, a pair of side wall panels, and a pair of end wall panels hingedly connected to the base panel. A pair of end foldover panels are hingedly connected to each end wall panel. The side wall panels and end wall panels are pivoted upwardly to an upright configuration, and the end foldover panels are folded inwardly into parallel abutting contact with the exterior planar surface of the adjacent side wall panel. End panel securing flaps are hingedly connected to each of the end foldover panels, and are received through aligned and correspondingly sized slots in the side wall panels. The end wall securing flaps are folded into parallel abutting contact with the interior planar surface of the adjacent side wall panel, and are secured thereto using a releasable fastener such as mating hook and loop type fasteners. Each end wall panel defines a centered handgrip opening, and a folded rim or shoulder extending along the length of the top edge of the end wall panel. The portion of the end wall panel cut away to form the handgrip opening is folded upwardly across double scored fold lines, and into the interior of the shoulder between the end wall panel and the portion of the end wall panel folded downwardly to form the shoulder, thereby presenting two double-thickness folds of corrugated sheet material at the top of the handgrip opening to provide greater supporting surface or purchase when a user lifts the utility tote container.
