ABSTRACT:
A molded plastic and metal case is provided which is designed to be stackable with other cases of the same construction to provide a sturdy display of the products contained therein and which is also nestable with other like cases to provide compact storage of empty cases. The display case is formed primarily of molded plastic and includes two upstanding metal frames on either side which form handles for carrying the case. Along the inside bottom of the case is a metal ring which is welded to the upstanding metal frames. The upper portion of each handle forms a stacking ledge which is received within a channel positioned adjacent and parallel to the side edges along the underside of each case, thus allowing the cases to be securely stacked. Adjacent each channel is a parallel slot which extends through the underside of each case and is used for nesting empty cases. The slot is designed to receive the frames of the next two lower cases thereby permitting a nesting ratio of 3:1 or greater.
