Abstract
A square nesting and stacking container wherein each wall of the container has a plurality of feet near the bottom of the container and a plurality of saddles near the top of the container. The saddles are located directly above the feet so that the feet will engage the saddles of a similarly oriented container of identical construction and support the same in a stacked relationship. There are clearances between the saddles so that when one container is turned 90.degree. with respect to another, it may be lowered into a nested relationship with the latter without interference because the feet will enter and pass through the clearances of the lower container.
