  • Patent number: 4101049
    Abstract: A stackable, nestable shipping tray for fruit. The tray is formed from a single plastic sheet and has a plurality of pockets interspersed by posts which engage the underside of the pockets to support the trays when they are in stacked relation. Grooves and channels in the posts, holes in the pockets and recesses in a border flange around the sheets promote airflow around the fruit as well as drainage of moisture. The configuration of the trays and their relation to the container in which they are disposed for shipping provides maximum protection to the fruit.
