Abstract
A low depth tray (100) for fluid containers, such as bottles B, includes a base (102) and a first pair of opposed walls (104, 106) extending upwardly from the base (102). The tray (100) further includes a second pair of opposed walls (108, 110) extending upwardly from the base (102) and integrally joined with the first pair of opposed walls (104, 106) to form a storage area. Each of the second pair of opposed walls (108, 110) includes an upper wall portion (112) and a lower wall portion (114), the upper wall portion (112) first areas (116) having a single-walled construction and second areas (118) for contacting the fluid containers B. When nested with a similar tray, the lower wall portion (114) of an upper tray (100) nests within the corresponding first areas (116) of a tray (100) disposed therebelow.
