An ice cream scoop packaging apparatus for packaging individual ice cream scoops includes a bottom tray and a top tray that each has a plurality of hemispherical scoop depressions. The plurality of depressions of the bottom tray corresponds with the plurality of depressions of the top tray. A bottom lip of the bottom tray is selectively engageable with a top lip of the top tray to join the bottom tray and the top tray. The bottom scoop depressions and the top scoop extensions form a plurality of spherical scoop cavities, each configured to hold a scoop of ice cream, when the bottom tray and the top tray are joined.

Disclosed herein are modular container systems having child-resistant containers, tray inserts and tray frames. Also disclosed are methods using the modular container systems and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a container base and a container cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the container cap from container base with a squeeze and lift sequence. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container base, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The components of the modular container system are modular and stackable. The modular system allows for organized, efficient, accessible and storage of the child-resistant containers. The modular container system also allows for easy counting, sorting and processing of the containers.

A tray and cover for storing tubes, such as collapsible tubes. A tray is used to store and transport tubes, the tubes being similarly orientated and arranged side by side in parallel alignment and being held in position by opposing pairs of tray sidewalls. A tray may also be used with a cover.

A tray includes a base having an upper support surface and a central portion extending downward to define a lowermost surface of the tray. The base includes a peripheral portion recessed relative to the central portion. A pair of opposed first walls extend along opposed first edges of the base. A pair of opposed second walls extending along opposed second edges of the base.

Embodiments of caseless container trays are disclosed. In an embodiment, a caseless container tray comprises a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is configured to contact and receive base portions of a first plurality of containers. The top surface comprises a plurality of top projections configured to divide the first plurality of containers into a plurality of rows. The bottom surface is configured to contact and receive spouts of a second plurality of containers. Furthermore, the bottom surface comprises a plurality of bottom projections extending from the bottom surface, wherein a bottom surface of each bottom projection is configured to contact a shoulder portion of a container of the second plurality of containers and wherein each projection surrounds a center portion configured to contact and receive a spout.

A biodegradable crate for storing and transport of food products has a crate body (1), in the form of a hollow quadrilateral prism framed by a rectangular perimeter (2) with rounded corners, and with an end (18) folded downwards. Twenty identical cup beds (3) are distributed evenly and separated from one another by twelve integrally made prismatic divider elements (4), in the shape of hollow quadrilateral prisms with rounded vertices (5) and connections (10) in the shape of hollow cuboids with shorter flat sides (12) and longer concave sides (13), and with ratio of connection (10) and divider element (4) heights preferably made in a scale of 2:3. The cup beds (3) have the shape of truncated cones oriented so that their narrow sides form the bottom of the crate body (1), and the dimensions that are analogue to bottom parts of plastic cups (7).
