Abstract
A nestable and stackable tray preferably formed of molded or die cut flat sheet material having a pair of stacking supports pivotally attached to the inside of the tray near the bottoms of each of the end walls of the tray. The supports are movable to a lowered position against the base of the tray for nesting empty trays within one another and for holding the trays in close spaced relationship while nesting. The supports are also movable to a raised position against an end wall of the tray and held against the walls with fasteners, where the supports present an upper surface upon which another tray is placed for stacking the loaded trays one upon another.
