Abstract
The invention relates to a molded tray for packing fruit and like delicate articles. The tray has pockets and posts, the pockets and posts alternating in a plurality of rows that extend longitudinally of the tray and a plurality of rows that extend transversely of the tray whereby each post merges into four pockets except in the case of those posts which are on a row on an outside edge of a tray whereby upon stacking the pockets will rest on the top of a post of an underlying tray and the posts support the pockets of an overlying tray in use. The invention is an improvement in such a tray that comprises the provision of protuberances on the side wall of each pocket the lower extremities of which extend below the surface of their respective pocket. The protuberances are spaced apart a distance slightly greater than the width of the top of one of the posts and the bottom of the protuberances is adapted to extend below the edge of a post when the trays are stacked to stabilize the trays against lateral displacement.
