Abstract: A tote box and method of assembling a tote box is disclosed which incorporates a box, four corner enhancers, four corner strengthener clips and a top rail which is secured over the top edge of the erected walls of the box. The walls of the box are held together with corner enhancer assemblies without the benefit of any mechanical fasteners such as rivets or the like. The corner strengthener clips are attached to the corner enhancers to create the corner enhancer assemblies. The top rail may be secured onto the box by a hook on at least one of the side walls of the top rail, which engages tabs of the box walls. The top rail may have a vertical lip which facilitates stacking multiple tote boxes.
