ABSTRACT:
A stackable and nestable crate apparatus particularly adapted for the transport and storage of easily breakable products, such as potato chips, or the like, includes an open topped container body of unitary molded plastic construction. A lid extends across the open top of the container body and is mountable thereon at various selected elevations to vertically support an overlying, stacked crate apparatus at a level suitable for the size of the product housed within the supporting crate apparatus. The front and rear walls of the container body are appropriately recessed to permit relative sliding movement between adjacent, stacked crates. The peripheral dimensions of the lid are correlated with respect to those of the interior of the container body to enable ready access to the product within a crate apparatus when slidably extended from the stack and to permit the lid, when rotated, to be readily received within the container body in order to accommodate nesting of empty crates.
