Abstract

The present invention is directed to systems and methods which use a tray to hold and transfer objects, such as produce. The tray has at least one opening to permit the user to manipulate the tray during transfer without touching the contents held within the tray. The tray has an open end with a curved edge to reduce damage to the contents when transferring contents from the tray to a container. The tray is preferably constructed from a plastic-like material.
