A method of manufacturing a non-disassembling partition assembly comprises providing a partition matrix made up of intersecting first and second slotted partitions. The partitions may be made by folding over a partition blank and securing a foam portion of the folded partition blank to itself. The foam may be heated before being cooled under pressure to secure opposed plies of the partition together. The partition assembly is held together by a floor parent welded to the intersecting partitions. The floor has a lower outer skin and a foam layer to which the partitions are parent welded.

1. A method of manufacturing a non-disassembling partition assembly comprising: providing a non-disassembling partition matrix comprising,at least one first slotted partition, each first slotted partition having at least one slot extending inwardly from an edge thereof;at least one second slotted partition, each second slotted partition having at least one slot extending inwardly from an edge thereof;said first and second slotted partitions being arranged in a matrix, said at least one slot of said at least one first slotted partition being engaged with said at least one slot of said at least one second slotted partition at an intersection, wherein at least one of said partitions has a rounded edge along its length and opposed plies parent welded together;providing a floor including a foam layer and securing an outer skin of woven polyester material to the foam layer of the floor; andparent welding said matrix to said foam layer of said floor. 2. The partition assembly of claim 1 wherein parent welding said matrix to a foam layer comprises parent welding said matrix to a polyolefin foam layer of said floor. 3. The partition assembly of claim 1 wherein at least one of the partitions is formed by folding over a partition blank and fusing opposed plies of the partition blank together. 4. A method of manufacturing a non-disassembling partition assembly comprising: providing a non-disassembling partition matrix comprising,at least one first slotted partition, each first slotted partition having at least one slot extending inwardly from an edge thereof;at least one second slotted partition, each second slotted partition having at least one slot extending inwardly from an edge thereof;said first and second slotted partitions being arranged in a matrix, said at least one slot of said at least one first slotted partition being engaged with said at least one slot of said at least one second slotted partition at an intersection, wherein all of said partitions have a rounded edge and opposed plies parent welded together;providing a floor including a foam layer and securing an outer skin of woven polyester material to the foam layer of the floor; andparent welding said matrix to said foam layer of said floor. 5. The partition assembly of claim 4 wherein parent welding said matrix to a foam layer comprises parent welding said matrix to a polyolefin foam layer of said floor. 6. The partition assembly of claim 4 wherein at least one of the partitions is formed by folding over a partition blank and fusing opposed plies of the partition blank together. 7. A method of forming a non-disassembling intersecting partition matrix with a floor, said matrix comprising at least one first slotted partition intersecting with at least one second slotted partition, each first slotted partition having at least one slot extending inwardly from an edge of the first slotted partition, each second slotted partition having at least one slot extending inwardly from an edge of the second slotted partition, said method comprising the steps of: engaging said at least one slot of said at least one first slotted partition with said at least one slot of said at least one second slotted partition at an intersection to form a matrix;heating an edge of said matrix,placing a floor comprising an upper foam layer and an outer skin of woven polyester material in contact with said edge of said matrix,allowing said matrix and floor to cool to secure the matrix and the floor together. 8. The method of forming a non-disassembling intersecting partition matrix with a floor of claim 7 wherein said partitions of said matrix are heated until a portion thereof is molten before the floor is secured to the matrix. 9. A method of forming a non-disassembling intersecting partition matrix, said matrix comprising a plurality of first slotted partitions intersecting with a plurality of second slotted partitions, each first slotted partition having a series of slots, each slot extending inwardly from an edge of the first slotted partition, each second slotted partition having a series of slots each slot extending inwardly from an edge of the second slotted partition, wherein at least one of said slotted partitions has a foam interior portion and an outer skin secured to said foam interior portion, said method comprising the steps of: engaging the slots of the first plurality of slotted partitions with slots of the second plurality of slotted partitions at intersections to form a matrix;providing a floor comprising a foam layer and an outer skin of woven polyester material;heating the floor with a heat source to create a heated floor,placing said matrix on the heated floor,cooling said matrix and said heated floor to permanently secure the matrix and floor together. 10. The method of forming a non-disassembling intersecting partition matrix of claim 9 wherein placing the matrix on the heated floor comprises placing an edge of said matrix on said floor while a layer of said floor is molten. 11. A method of forming a non-disassembling partition assembly having a floor comprising a foam layer and an outer skin of woven polyester material, the floor being fused to a partition matrix, said partition matrix comprising a plurality of first slotted partitions intersecting with a plurality of second slotted partitions, each first slotted partition having a series of slots extending inwardly from an edge of the first slotted partition, each second slotted partition having a series of slots extending inwardly from an edge of the second slotted partition, wherein at least one of the partitions having a rounded upper edge and opposed plies fused together, said method comprising the steps of: engaging one of the slots of the first slotted partition with one of the slots of the second slotted partition at an intersection to form a matrix;placing the floor directly on a heat source in order to partially melt the foam layer of said floor,placing the matrix on the floor,lifting said matrix with said floor attached to said matrix away from said heat source and allowing said matrix and floor to cool, thereby permanently securing the floor and matrix together. 12. The method of forming the non-disassembling partition assembly of claim 11 wherein the floor is on the heat source when the matrix is placed on the floor.
