ABSTRACT:
A sturdy, reusable plastic low-depth tray suitable for transporting, storing and displaying sixteen-ounce bottles or other beverage containers. The low-depth, vertical sidewall thereof is molded with, to and about the outside rectangular perimeter of the open gridwork tray floor. The sidewall is free standing and unsupported throughout its height above the floor and is defined by a series of adjacent upright panels, alternating ones of which are raised such that their lower surfaces are spaced above the top of the floor. The top and bottom edges of the sidewall thereby have undulating configurations. An outwardly-disposed support lip extends along the entire length of the top edge, and the raised portions of the bottom edge are spaced above the top of the floor. This sidewall construction allows the trays to securely and compactly column nest when empty and to more fully display the bottles therein and their labels when the trays are loaded and stacked in a low-depth arrangement.
