ABSTRACT:
A stackable, multi-use shipping and storage containment system includes a plurality of containers with a bottom wall, vertical enclosing sidewall, and top surface forming a water-tight enclosure, including one or more raised lid upsets equivalent indentations on its bottom surface corresponding in planar arrangement, the raised lid upsets fitting tightly within the bottom indents when containers are stacked vertically, and where the raised lid upsets and corresponding bottom indentations are arranged in planar proportional geometric patterns so that a container with a plurality of lid upsets is equal to an array of single-lid containers arranged side-by-side in corresponding planar pattern, and at least one lid upset of each container is open with a means to accept a lid forming a water-tight seal which does not interfere with the vertical stacking, and where a plurality of containers with differing numbers of lid upsets can be stacked in interlocking patterns for stability.
