ABSTRACT:
A container for transporting products such as produce as a reusable base part including a base and support members hingedly mounted to the base that are movable between two positions. In a first position, the support members are upright, generally perpendicular to the base and in a second position the support members are retracted to a position to lie parallel with a bottom wall of the base. In the first position, an over sleeve is adapted to slide over the support members along opposite end walls of the container and fit into the base along opposite side walls of the container. Bottom wall flaps of the over sleeve extend part way across the bottom wall of the container and produce contained therein pushes down on the bottom flaps to maintain engagement of the over sleeve with the base. The base and support members are made of a reusable material, such as plastic whereas the over sleeve is made of cardboard, which can be discarded or recycled after use.
