A nestable beverage crate includes a base, side walls and end walls. Each side wall includes a plurality of side columns connecting a side upper band to the base. Each end wall includes a plurality of end columns connected an end upper band to the base. The side upper band and the end upper bands each have a plurality of peaks and valleys and are asymmetric, such that adjacent crates will have peaks aligned with valleys and vice-versa. For purposes of preventing shingling, the effective height of the side upper bands and the end upper bands these two adjacent side walls is the full distance between the upper edge of the peak and the lower edge of the valley, but the nesting height of the crate is only the height of the upper bands.

A method of forming a box from a box blank can include folding a first dividing wing of the box blank relative to a first side subpanel of the box blank about an inner hinge, the inner hinge coupling the first dividing wing to the first side subpanel, the first side subpanel coupled to a first main panel of the box by a first side hinge, the first main panel coupled to a bottom panel of the box by a first main hinge, the bottom panel coupled to a second main panel of the box by a second main hinge, a second side subpanel coupled to the second main panel by a second side hinge, a second dividing wing coupled to the second side subpanel by a second inner hinge; and coupling a first portion of the first dividing wing to the first main panel.

A box can include a container portion, the container portion defining a top end and a bottom end, the container portion defining a cavity, the container portion including a main panel; and a side panel including a first side subpanel and a second side subpanel, the first side subpanel hingedly coupled to the main panel; and a dividing portion disposed within the cavity, the dividing portion defining a plurality of cells within the cavity, the dividing portion including a first dividing wing coupled to the first side subpanel; and a second dividing wing coupled to the second side subpanel.

The invention relates to a plastic container with a base and side walls standing on the base, wherein a receiving region of the container is defined by the base and the side walls, wherein the base, on its side facing away from the receiving region, forms a plane, wherein the plane carries an inner region, a bearing rim surrounding the inner region, and first ribs protruding from the plane, wherein the bearing rim has a bearing face for the container and the bearing face is elevated in the direction perpendicular to the plane compared to the inner region, wherein each of the first ribs extends in the direction of the bearing rim starting from the inner region, wherein, with respect to each of the first ribs, the end face of the first rib pointing in the direction of extent leads tangentially into the plane.

A box includes a container portion, the container portion defining a top end and a bottom end, the container portion defining a cavity; a telescoping portion attached to the top end of the container portion, the telescoping portion selectively reconfigurable about and between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration, a portion of the telescoping portion being positioned within the cavity in the retracted configuration, the telescoping portion disposed external to the cavity in the extended configuration; and a dividing portion disposed within the cavity, the dividing portion defining a plurality of cells within the cavity.

A beverage crate includes a base having opposed end edges and opposed side edges. A pair of end walls extending upward from the end edges of the base. A pair of side walls extend upward from the side edges of the base. Each of the side walls includes an upper band portion connected to the base by inwardly-offset columns. The upper band portions each include at least one upper peak protruding upwardly and at least one complementary recess aligned below the at least one upper peak. The upper band portions each include at least one lower peak protruding downwardly and at least one complementary recess aligned above the at least one lower peak.

The aim of the invention is the simple operation and handling of a fire basket (1) for wood and similar combustibles, comprising a heat-resistant bottom for forming a fire pan and a jacket adjoining the same in the upward direction. This aim is achieved, according to the invention, in that the jacket (3) is in the form of a stacking crate (4) made of sheet metal. At least one bottle opener (5) is preferably provided in the jacket (3), in particular punched in or cut out adjacent to the corner region of the beverage crate, and spacers (6), in particular for beverage bottles, are inserted in the stacking crate (4) upon delivery.
