of the Invention A frameless container is disclosed having a predetermined length and comprising a floor having floor supports, a roof, a pair of opposing sidewalls and end walls; at least one end wall including an access door. The sidewalls are respectively connected to the floor supports and the roof. The upper portionof each of the opposing sidewalls comprises at least first and second lap-jointed panels each having predetermined dimensions for the height, width and thickness.The lower portion of sidewalls comprises a scuff plate with a thickness dimension that generally exceeds that of the lap-jointed panels if both are made of identical strength materials. The scuff plate has its bottom connected to the floor support and its top extending up from the floor by a predetermined distance defining a "scuff zone." The scuff zone has a projection-free surface exposed to the interior of the container. The fasteners that attach the scuff plate to the lap-jointed upper wall portion are arranged into at least one horizontal row locatedabove the scuff zone. The fasteners have low profile heads which project only slightly from the inner surface of the scuff plate.
