A cover for the handle hole of a plastic tote box container has a peripheral rectangular flange which is grommeted to the inside of the container wall with side runs and a bottom run of the flange even with the sides and bottom of the handle hole. The top run of the flange is spaced above the top of the handle hole to make room for the distal phalanges of the fingers. A top wall of the cover extends inwardly from the top run of the flange and joins at its inner end with a rear wall which is parallel to the end wall of the container. The lower end of the rear wall is joined to a bottom wall of the cover which slopes upwardly from the bottom run of the flange. The top, rear and bottom walls are joined to each other and to the side runs of the flange by inwardly sloping side walls of the cover, so the cover is completely closed. The grommets extend through tabs of the bottom and side runs of the flange, and the side grommets extend into pockets defined adjacent to the sides of the handle hole on the outside of the container end wall by reinforcing ribs.
