ABSTRACT:
A three-level stack and nest container is provided with a row of outwardly projecting stacking feet along the lower edges of a pair of opposed end walls. Three stacking foot receiving seats are formed at the inner side of each end wall at different elevations in vertical alignment with each stacking foot so that two containers may be stacked or nested with the upper container at a high, intermediate or low elevation relative to the lower container depending upon which set of seats of the lower container are engaged by the feet of the upper container. Each vertically aligned group of seats includes recesses in the inner side of the end wall extending downwardly at opposite sides of the uppermost of the three seats. One recess will guide a stacking foot to the intermediate seat, the other recess will guide a stacking foot to the lower of the three seats.
