The tray includes an integral funnel-shaped outlet for dispensing or discharging the sorted and counted objects. A series of score lines or lines of weakness are provided around the surface of the funnel-shaped outlet at its discharge end to enable the discharge end of the outlet to be cut to a desired diametrical outlet size corresponding to the size of the objects to be counted out and/or sorted in the tray and poured through the funnel-shaped into a dispensing or storage bottle or container. In a second embodiment, removably-securable separate funnel-sections are provided, with each having the size entrance mouth but different size exit mouth.
