ABSTRACT:
A four-walled, open-topped container having a lid is disclosed in which the lid is insertable into the container for storage along and against one wall of the container. The lid for the container is generally planar and has a trapezoidal shape and the four walls of the container are generally planar, are interconnected, and are joined to a bottom. A rim for engaging the lid is defined by the upper ends of the four walls. The rim is trapezoidal in shape to conform to the lid and has long and short parallel opposed sides and two converging opposed sides. The four walls converge inwardly from the rim to the bottom to a sufficient degree to permit a container to nest within a like container. In addition, the convergence of the walls which define the opposed converging sides of the rim is appropriate to permit the lid to be inserted into the container along and against the wall defining the long parallel side of the rim. With a lid so inserted into a container, containers and lids are stackable in a space-saving, nested arrangement for storage and handling.
