Abstract: A method of manufacturing a drawer box having an integrated file hanging system. A hanger track is provided with a barbed mounting rib for engagement into a groove cut into the long edge of a blank. A vinyl laminate is applied to the blank over the top edge and the face that will become the exterior face of the drawer box and the hanger track is pressed into the groove. The drawer blank is processed through the V-groover with the hanger track already in position along the top edge, to mitre the drawer track at the same time as the drawer sides. In the preferred embodiment a bead is formed along the top edge of the mounting track and the cross bar is provided with a complementary hook structure, so that it can be positively engaged to the mounting track.
