PCT No. PCT/AU87/00343 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 13, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 13, 1989 PCT Filed Oct. 13, 1987 PCT Pub. No. WO88/02724 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 21, 1988.A disposable cardboard crate for transporting and storing goods, particularly, containers of milk. The crate is a rectangular open top container and opposed end walls (25) extend above the height of the other walls (26). The end walls (25) are each folded back on themselves at the top to form a triangular box structure or girder which extends across the end and provides a horizontal ledge (24) projecting inwardly of the crate. The ledge (24) is at a height very slightly above the height of the other walls (26). The girder contributes substantially to the strength of the crate. The end walls (25) are inclined upwardly and outwardly slightly to allow the base (20) of a further crate in a stack to fit between upwardly extending portions (27) and rest on the ledges (24). The end walls have a width (X) at the top slightly less than the width (Y) at the bottom such that the base (20) of a crate overlies the other walls (26) of the crate immediately therebelow in a stack thereby contributing to the stacking strength. A blank for forming the crate is also claimed.
