A collapsible material handling container (10) of the type for packaging, shipping and inventorying goods including a base (12), a pair of sidewalls (14), and a pair of end walls (16). Each of the walls (14,16) are hingedly connected to the base (12) and moveable between a collapsed position wherein the walls (14,16) are folded one on top of the other and an upright position wherein the walls (14,16) extend vertically upward from the base (12) and adjacent walls (14,16) are interlocked together to define a smooth planer interior surface of the container (10). The interlocking system includes terminal portions (52) disposed on the side walls (14) and having tabs (54) extending therefrom, and corner portions (58) disposed on the end walls (16) and having sockets (60) for receiving the tabs (58). The base (12) includes ramping surfaces (72) for supporting at least one of the end walls (16) when collapsed. |
