Two embodiments of the tray are hexagonal in shape, while a third embodiment of the tray is pentagonal in shape. Further embodiments of the tray are formed by provision of an additional tray which is insertable into an upper portion of the main tray, the additional tray being supported from below by internal partitions in the main tray. Ends of the internal partitions, adjacent to the corners or walls to which they are connected, comprise a pair of flared tabs which are connected to the corner or wall by glue, adhesive or other means.
