ABSTRACT:
A nestable molded packing tray is disclosed having a compact arrangement of pockets for receipt of soft, delicate articles such as apples, tomatoes, etc. This tray contains post support means in the areas between closely adjacent pockets which materially increase the number of pockets which can be placed in a given tray. These support means coact with posts formed in the tray to space the trays when stacked and transmit vertical stacking forces to successive layers of trays in a manner which avoids damage to the packed articles. In one embodiment end flaps are added to the tray to provide additional support for successive layers of trays. The posts and post support means are molded into the trays in such a way that the trays will nest during shipment and may easily be stacked when ready for filling with articles to be packed.
