A tray includes a base and a pair of opposed side walls extending upward from the base. Each of the side walls includes a plurality of feet providing multiple stacking heights with an identical tray. Each side wall including a recess on an inner, upper edge. A rear wall extends upward from a rear the base between the side walls. A front wall extends upward from a front of the base between the side walls, the front wall including a portion lower than the side walls. A dolly that can be used with the tray includes a deck having a pair of contiguous support surfaces. A reinforcement rod supports the pair of support surfaces. A caster includes a caster plate secured to the deck, the reinforcement rod between the caster plate and the deck.

A bakery tray includes a base and a pair of opposed side walls extending upward from side edges of the base. Front and rear walls extend upward from front and rear edges of the base. A plurality of recesses for receiving bakery items therein are formed in the base. This increases the number of bakery items that can be received in the tray and/or permits a decrease in the stacking height of the trays, thereby permitting another tray to be received on the stack. In one embodiment, the recesses are a plurality of parallel troughs formed in an upper surface of the base. In another embodiment, the plurality of recesses are formed in the ribs in the base, such that the bakery items are received in the recesses.

A crate for storing containers includes a plurality of walls and a base connected to the plurality of walls. The base includes a plurality of recessed areas each having a first container contact surface spaced from a second container contact surface.

A tray and its use for conveying pouches for flexible containers such as Doypacks includes a number of partitions that protrude from the base of the tray so as to form between them spaces for the transverse containment of packs of pouches for flexible containers. The containment spaces are used to contain the packs of pouches in a direction that is transverse to the partitions.

A set of nestable and stackable cookware, for example, a set of pots and pans, is maintained in a stable configuration by stops attached to the outer walls of the cookware. Each stacked and nested item of cookware is supported on the rim of the lower item by two stops attached to its outer wall, on opposite sides of the item. Each stop is shaped and configured to contact the rim of the lower item in the stack at a finite number of points. The points of contact lie in the same plane, which uprightly supports the stacked cookware item on the lower cookware item, without the walls or the base of the stacked cookware item touching the lower item.

A disposable or reusable food base tray and plurality of container modules is disclosed which allows the user to both hold food directly in compartments on the base tray and configure a plurality of similar or different food and beverage container modules selected by the user to securely fit the compartments on the surface of the base tray. Container modules include but are not limited to bowls, compartmented container modules, cups including standard cup sizes, different size cup holders, platters and other container modules. The food base tray provides a way for users to add a greater variety of foods to the tray while keeping foods separate, to adapt the tray for a plurality of non-solid foods such as soups and beverages and to easily carry all food container modules securely. An additional feature includes the use of stacking container modules that allow stacking of an additional tray securely on top of said stacking container modules. An additional feature includes unique identifiers on base trays and container modules so that users can readily identify which items belong to the user. An additional feature is themed identifiers to make it easier to remember multiple container identifiers. An additional feature is educational or entertaining depictions and text on the base tray and container modules.

A stackable tote and lid combination has a lid with a main body and a rim. The rim has a wall with corner bodies, where the wall is spaced apart from a major surface. Each corner body has an upper surface with three outer side surfaces. Each first outer side surface is attached to a respective second outer side surface and each second outer side surface is attached to a respective third outer side surface. Each first, second, and third outer side surface is positioned between and connected to the upper surface of the respective corner body and the major surface of the main body. As a result, each first, second, and third outer side surface of respective corner bodies is configured to abut a hollow body of the stackable tote at three respective internal contact areas, and to removably hold the stackable tote.

Beverage container packaging assemblies including a bottom tray, center support, and top tray are disclosed. The bottom tray includes a plurality of cup-shaped elements. The cup-shaped elements are configured to accommodate a bottom portion of a beverage container. The center support is disposed between and in contact with the bottom tray and a top tray of a molded paper pulp. The center support includes a plurality of center support posts, a plurality of recessed elements, and a plurality of beverage container support cavities that are bounded by at least one of the center support posts. The support cavities are configured to surround at least a portion of the beverage container. The top tray includes a plurality of vertical members comprising at least one deformable element and a plurality of bottle neck accommodating spaces each bounded by the at least one deformable element.
