Abstract
A shelving system adapted for compact packaging has a number of shelves of molded polymer material. Each shelf has at least two hollow support ribs of height h extending parallel to a width of the shelf, and at least one intermediate platform portion connecting between the support ribs. The intermediate platform portion has a height significantly less than h such that a first and a second of the shelves can be positioned in an interlocking storage configuration with at least one of the support ribs of the first shelf adjacent to the intermediate platform portion of the second shelf so as to form a compact shelf-pair package.
