The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a floor mat having a dressed edge including extruding material into a sheet that defines the bottom layer of a floor mat. The extruded sheet is bonded to a fabric sheet that defines the top layer of a floor mat where the two layers cooperate to define a laminate. A plurality of nibs is defined on the extruded sheet and a portion of the nibs are subsequently removed through the application of an electromagnetic frequency having a wavelength between 8 kHz and 35,000 MHz to provide at least one smooth area. The laminate is cut into a predetermined shape having a peripheral edge, where the smooth area is disposed along the peripheral edge. The peripheral edge is dressed with a border that conceals the joint between the top layer and the bottom layer and facilitates the bond therebetween.

A collapsible material handling container (10) including a base (12) having a plurality of sides (30, 32), a pair of opposed sidewalls (14) and a pair of opposed end walls (16) and hinges defining axes (68, 70) associated with each wall (14, 16) and interconnecting each wall (14, 16) to the base (12). The walls (14, 16) are rotatably moveable about their respective hinge axes (68, 70) 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) to define an interior (18) of the container (10). The hinge axes (68) for the opposed sidewalls (14) are disposed on a common plane bisecting these axes (68). Similarly, the hinge axes (70) for the opposed end walls (16) are disposed on a common plane bisecting these axes (70). The base sides (30) for the opposed sidewalls (14) form a pair of ramping surfaces (72) defining oppositely opening acute angles with the hinge axes (68) for the sidewalls (14) for supporting at least one of the opposed end walls (16) along the ramping surfaces (72) when the end wall (16) is in its collapsed position.

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).
