Abstract
A packaging tray capable of individually and separately supporting a layer of fruit for transport and point of sale display has a plurality of flexible hammock-like recesses formed in a supporting layer. This supporting layer is held above the base of a carton by supports associated with each 'hammock-like recess'. The flexible recesses allow fruit of varying sizes or shapes to be accommodated within a single layer.
