Abstract
A plastic tray for the storage, shipping and display of pop bottles. The tray is an open box with pillars attached to the inside bottom of the box. Bottle compartments are thus defined by the box walls and the pillars. The inside of the box walls and pillar sides of each compartment are molded to match the contour of a bottle to be inserted into the compartment. The pillar and box walls are flexible enough to allow the insertion of slightly oversized bottles, but resilient enough to provide a snug fit of each bottle within each compartment.
