A foldable file box receives hanging files. In one embodiment resilient rails are removably inserted by flexing the rails and inserting their ends into sockets formed in the sides of the box. The file box has a bottom panel, a generally rectangular top channel frame, and inwardly collapsible side panels. An end panel at each end of the box is hinged to a corresponding end piece of the top frame. When they swing down to a vertical position, the end panels lock the collapsible side panels to erect the box. In order to receive and maintain a pair of file rails in a spaced parallel relationship, aligned sockets are provided at the ends of the rails so that the file rails may be inserted therein by flexing. Alternatively, the file rails may be integrally molded into the box. For portability, various rolling supports, such as easily attachable rollers or a dolly, may be added to the file box.

A collapsible box for supporting and holding hanging files having hooks projecting from upper corners thereof, said box comprising: four sides and a bottom panel interconnected to form a generally rectangular shape; a first two of said sides being hinged to fold onto the bottom panel to provide a compact structure form and to fold into an upright and erect box; the other two of said sides being hinged to swing to a position parallel to said bottom panel when said box is in said compact structure form and to swing to a locking position when said box is in said erect form; a pair of spaced parallel rail members mounted in the box and separated from each other by a distance equal to a distance between said hooks for supporting the hanging files; and at least four sockets formed in opposing and confronting sides of the box at locations corresponding to at least the ends of said spaced parallel rail members, said rail members flexing to be installed into or removed from said sockets.
