A stackable serving container apparatus for use with shellfish, or any other type of similar food. More particularly, a stackable serving tray apparatus that allows for ease and functionality with respect to serving cooked shellfish that is ready to be eaten and needs to be kept warm, and simultaneously provides an area for any removed shells to be discarded.

A shelving system includes a plurality of collapsible containers stacked on one another and on a pallet or dolly. Each collapsible container includes a base and a pair of opposed side walls pivotably connected to the base and movable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base. Each collapsible container further includes a rear wall pivotably connected to the base and movable between an upright position and a collapsed position on the base. The rear wall may include a pair of opposed flange portions with a lower central portion therebetween. A front wall is pivotably connected to the base opposite the rear wall and is movable between an upright position and a retracted position outward of the container. The pallet accommodates the stack of collapsible containers and has thin outer columns so that the shelving system can fit into existing store refrigerators.

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 allow 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 can include a plurality of first medialization features located at a top portion of the tray, and a plurality of second medialization features disposed at a bottom portion of the tray. The first medialization features can be configured to interact with the second medialization features of an adjacent stacked tray to cause medialization of the adjacent stacked tray to cause tray alignment and automated stacking of trays.

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.

An adjustable length container that includes an inner container section and an outer container section that fit telescopically together to enable the length of the container to be adjusted. The bottom and side walls of the outer container section include at least two sections so that one of the sections can be removed to shorten the total length of the container. The container optionally includes a removable end wall on the outer container section, a removable and length-adjustable partition in the inner container section and complementary features that permit multiple containers to be securely stacked.

A stackable box (1) for accommodating and for transporting articles and for stacking in a stacking direction (2) with at least one other box (1) of the same type, wherein the box (1) has a base (3) and a side wall (4), which projects beyond the base (3) and surrounds the base (3) at least partially, wherein the base (3) and the side wall (4) together bound an accommodating space (5) for the articles, wherein the side wall (4) contains at least two, spaced-apart adapters in order for the box (1) to be gripped mechanically by means of at least one gripping device (6), said adapters in the side wall (4) being designed in each case in the form of channels (8) which extend longitudinally in a longitudinal-extent direction (7) running parallel to the stacking direction (2), wherein the channels (8) each have an entry opening (9) and an exit opening (10) and, therebetween, an inner channel cavity (12) which is bounded by a channel-boundary wall (11) of the box (1), extends longitudinally in the respective longitudinal-extent direction (7) and through which the gripping device (6) is guided.

A one-piece molded container comprising a lid and a container body is provided. The container body and lid are connected by a living hinge. The container body has interior protrusions extending from a bottom portion in an interior of the container body to limit nesting of the containers. The container body has a recess on a bottom portion on an exterior portion of the container and a dual-prong lid-locking mechanism, the lid-locking mechanism including a first prong, a second prong being a tamper-evident tearaway portion, and a protrusion extending downwardly from an interior portion of the lid.

A molded container of solid continuous construction having a floor and contiguous upstanding sidewalls angling outward and upward to a surrounding upper lip. Below the upper lip the floor and sidewalls surround an inner cavity adapted to receive food. The sidewalls include at least three outwardly-directed lugs that are thicker from an inner surface to an outer surface thereof than a nominal wall thickness of the remainder of the sidewalls. The sidewall at the location of each lug having an inner surface which is contiguous and uninterrupted relative to the inner surface of adjacent portions of the sidewall. Consequently, a first container may be stacked and nested within a second container such that the lugs on the first container contact the inner surface of the second container at the location of the lugs on the second container and maintain a predetermined axial spacing between the first and second containers.
