ABSTRACT:
For cylindrical fluid containers, a nestable tray including a support floor having a top surface which is generally open across the entire length and width thereof. The top surface has a plurality of support areas for supporting thereon an array of upright cylindrical fluid containers such that the containers are directly adjacent to one another. A wall assembly is secured to and extends generally up from the floor and is dimensioned so that the containers when supported on the floor extend above the top of the wall assembly in a low-depth arrangement. The wall assembly has a substantial lower wall part adjacent the floor and a substantial upper wall part generally above the lower wall part and having an inward surface. The upper wall part is substantially vertical at least along the inward surface. The inward surface is configured to contact on a plurality of spaced points, spaced a distance above the floor top surface, the cylindrical fluid containers on the adjacent support areas and to thereby hold the containers upright. The lower wall part angles upwardly and outwardly such that the tray when empty of the containers can nest relative to a similar empty tray.
