ABSTRACT:
A low depth nestable tray for holding cans of similar capacities and body diameters but with varying top and bottom rim diameters. The tray has structural features that prevent spreading or fraying of the walls. The tray comprises a floor, a band around the periphery of the tray and columns interconnecting the band to the floor. Nesting ledges are disposed on columns and on corner posts of the wall structure. The ledges are equal in height and act as supports for the weight of a stack of nested empty trays which prevents the walls from having to support the weight and results in the walls maintaining their shape and structural integrity. The floor is configured with support areas for the containers and has features for accommodating bottom rims of varying diameters. The support areas have a circular groove for engaging the bottoms of cans and the bottom surface of the floor has downwardly projecting redoubts for facilitating stacking and handling of trays loaded with cans. One set of redoubts are located to be disposed inside the top rims of cans and a second set of redoubts are located to be disposed between the top rims of cans in a loaded tray therebeneath.
