ABSTRACT:
A low depth, nestable display crate for bottles, preferably of single serve capacity, is integrally molded from plastic and comprises two basic components--a floor and a wall structure extending up from the floor and extending around the periphery of the floor. The floor preferably has an open lattice design and includes container support areas. The bottom surface of the floor is configured for accommodating the tops of bottles in a similar crate underneath. The wall structure comprises a lower wall portion adjacent the floor and a plurality of integrally formed pylons arranged around the periphery of the crate. The lower wall portion is of double-walled construction with the hollow pylons integrally formed the double-walled lower portion. The pylons are angled toward the interior of the crate and tapered to be smaller in cross section at the top and larger near the lower wall portion so as to allow pylons of empty crates to nest within one another. The crate of the present invention combines the advantages of a nesting crate with sufficient strength afforded by its double-walled construction and maximum, unobstructed visibility of the bottles.
