Abstract
A rigid, sturdy, two-piece reusable container forming individual cups to contain fruit or other perishables. The device includes a brace that provides support, rigidity, separates the cups of different containers and forms a relatively flat surface. It also includes ribs that provide further support. The device further includes support members that provide a spacing means for ventilation. The device also includes locking members that hold the cover and the base together. The device also contains individual cups with corrugations that further prevent bruises and spoilage of the fruit.
