Abstract

A staclcable tote (10) may be stacked with other identical or similar totes and/or existing, prior tote designs. The tote (10) is assembled from at least one box blank (12) , a base (18) and a top rail (16). When folded into the appropriate shape, the box blank (12) results in the sidewalls (14) of the tote. To hold the erected box blank (12) in an assembled relationship and to reinforce the top and bottom edges of the tote (10), a channel shaped top rail (16) extends around the top edge of the tote (10) and the bottom edge of the sidewalls (14) is seated within a channel (64) in the base (18). The top rail (16) and base (18) are secured to the sidewalls (14) as the result of an inwardly extending hook (50, 70) in the associated channels (44, 64) which engages the folded tabs (34) of the sidewalls (14). One advantage of this invention is that a lightweight, stackable tote or container may be quickly and easily manufactured in a designed size or height. The tote of this invention may be stacked above or below the same or similar types of totes as well as existing tote designs.
