A collapsible container 10 comprises a base 12, a first pair of opposed walls 14 and a second pair of opposed walls 16. The walls define an opening in the top of the container. The container further comprises at least one stacking member 18 which, when the container is erect, is movable between a stacking position in which the stacking member is positioned to support and provide spacing between the top of the container and the base of a further container positioned thereon and a filling position in which the stacking member is substantially removed from the opening in the top of the container. Preferably the stacking member comprises an elongated supporting element (18a, figure 4) of approximately the same length as the first pair of walls with a leg (18b) extending from each end. Each leg may be pivotally connected to one of the first pair of walls. In the stacking position each leg may form an angle (α) relative to the upper edge of the walls. The angle may be between 45 and 90 degrees, but is preferably between 45 and 70, and more preferably between 45 and 60. |
