ABSTRACT:
An improved stacking wire is provided for use in carrying and supporting stacked produce containers of the type formed from corrugated paperboard or the like to include a pair of double-layer end walls each defining a vertically open slot for receiving a stacking wire. The improved stacking wire is bent to an inverted generally U-shaped configuration and includes a plurality of spacers disposed at different vertical positions therein for maintaining the end wall layers of a plurality of stacked containers in a predetermined spacing relative to each other and in vertical alignment with the end wall layers of other containers in the stack thereby increasing the vertical stacking strength and lateral stability of the stacked containers to prevent damage to the produce during handling, storage, or shipment.
