Stackable cartons, system, and methods of using the same
A carton for holding at least one article includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carton, the plurality of panels includes a top panel, a bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, and at least one side panel, and a plurality of end flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels, the plurality of end flaps includes at least one top end flap foldably connected to the top panel. The at least one top end flap is upwardly folded relative to the top panel to at least partially maintain a closed configuration of the carton in which the top panel is recessed below a portion of each of the front panel, the back panel, and the at least one side panel to form a recessed top portion for receiving a portion of a vertically adjacent carton.

Bakery tray and dolly
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.
Variable height nested containers based on rotational orientation
Disclosed are containers that can nest with one another at different heights between the containers based on a relative orientation in which the containers are brought into nesting engagement. Support features (e.g., arranged about an interior of a receiving container and/or about an exterior of a received container) may interact with one another differently based on the particular orientation (e.g., rotational alignment) in which the containers are brought together, which can cause the containers to be supported at different heights relative to one another.
VARIABLE HEIGHT NESTED CONTAINERS BASED ON ROTATIONAL ORIENTATION
Disclosed are containers that can nest with one another at different heights between the containers based on a relative orientation in which the containers are brought into nesting engagement. Support features (e.g., arranged about an interior of a receiving container and/or about an exterior of a received container) may interact with one another differently based on the particular orientation (e.g., rotational alignment) in which the containers are brought together, which can cause the containers to be supported at different heights relative to one another.
Bakery tray
A bakery tray according to one embodiment includes a base a front wall and a rear wall. A pair of opposed side walls extend upward from side edges of the base. Each side wall including a pair of stacking feet and a center projection. Each side wall includes an upper support surface between an inner rail and an outer wall. The inner rail is interrupted by a plurality of pockets arranged to receive the stacking feet and the center projection of an identical tray stacked thereon in a high stack position and in a low stack position. The outer wall includes a plurality of recesses aligned with the plurality of pockets. The tray may provide a substantially constant height support surface between the pockets. Further, stops may be provided at front and rear ends of the upper support surface.
