ABSTRACT:
A reusable case for storing, transporting and merchandising bottles of alternatively first and second different sizes. The case has opposing open first and second ends and a shelf secured therein and midway between the ends. First and second different divider structures are formed on opposite respective sides of the shelf. The first divider structure, with the first end oriented up, defines within the case and on the shelf a first plurality of pockets for retaining bottles of the first size. Alternatively and with the case flipped over, a second plurality of pockets for the second size bottles is formed on the other side of the shelf by the second divider structure. Bottles positioned in either of the pockets extend above the top of the case in a merchandising position. When a similar case is stacked on top of the loaded case, the bottles extend up into the lower empty portion of the top case. The divider structures are configured so that the one facing down can receive up thereinto the tops of bottles in a case stacked therebeneath and in the pocket pattern of the different upwardly-facing divider structure.
