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.

Utility tote container with unfastenable and refastenable side walls and

A tote container for perishable produce such as asparagus comprising a pair of identical molded end shells which form the side walls of the tote container, with an intermediate blank cut and scored from a sheet material such as double-faced corrugated plastic extending between and securely attached to each of the end shells. The blank is folded to form a bottom panel, back panel, pivoting top lid and front lid panels, and a front tray panel to the tote container. The tote container defines a receptacle region with an open top and front, and the blank defines a bottom tray portion within that receptacle region.

Tote container for perishable produce particularly asparagus

A container and pallet assembly comprising a generally rectangular pallet with a pair of end walls and a pair of side walls mounted thereon. The container may be folded between an upright container configuration and a collapsed stored configuration. Each end or side wall is constructed from double-faced corrugated plastic sheet material cut and scored to form a blank having hingedly interconnected inner, intermediate, and outer wall panels, lid flaps, and attachment panels. The side or wall panels may be slidably mounted on the pallet using a combination of slots in the associated attachment panels and push-type fasteners to facilitate folding to the stored configuration. The end or side wall blanks may also define internal reinforcing structures for supporting the containers when stacked in a vertical column, and securing structures for fastening the end and side walls in the upright container configuration. The panels of the end and side walls may also form an upwardly projecting peripheral rim which can be engagingly received in a channel defined along the underside of the pallet.

Collapsible container and pallet assembly

A tote container assembly having a pair of support panels, each support panel being formed from a corrugated plastic material and having a longitudinal grain. The support panels are positioned with their grains perpendicular to one another, and each panel is folded into a U-shape. The edges of the panels are fastened by sonic welds over a wire rim member which extends around the top peripheral edge of the tote container, and defines a pair of handgrips on opposing sides of the container. The corners of the rim member are curved to present stacking shoulders at the top corners of the container.

Snap open tote container assembly

Containers are designed for utilization of the otherwise wasted space provided between structural members of buildings such as joists and studs. Flaps may be folded into or out of position to vary the width of the container depending on the exact distance between structural members. A drawer-like container may be used between joists and a cabinet with door may be mounted between studs.
