ABSTRACT:
A one-piece injection-molded shipping tray has a number of internal pockets for seating electronic components to be shipped. The tray is an open latticework within a peripheral frame, and may be stacked with others of its kind as the peripheral frame has a rim within which another tray may be seated. The tray includes a locking mechanism, enabling it to be locked to another in a stacked relationship. As such, the tray may also serve as a covering lid for another tray. The internal pockets are joined to one another, and to the frame, by joining members which have narrowed portions. These may be readily severed with an appropriate cutting tool to detach an internal pocket from the tray. In this event, a single internal pocket, holding an electronic component, may be attached to another single internal pocket, sandwiching the electronic component therebetween, by using clamps which engage the bottom of one internal pocket and the notch on top of the other internal pocket.
