Abstract
A stackable container has an open top and a substantially open front defined by a flange, with a transparent cover securable over the front opening to allow viewing of the contents of the container. The container has a removable lid with formed structures for stacking additional containers thereon, with the cover hinged from the lid. The container also has strengthening ribs which are incorporated in the sides and back of the container, with the ribs providing complementary recesses for nesting the containers when empty.
