A multi-purpose container (10), such as for storing and transporting produce, includes a bottom surface (12), a first pair of opposed walls (14, 16) integrally joined with the bottom surface (12) and extending upwardly therefrom, and a second pair of opposed walls (18, 20) integrally joined with the bottom surface (12) and extending upwardly therefrom. The first and second pairs of opposed walls are integrally joined with each other to define along with the bottom surface, a storage area. The bottom surface (12) has a ridge (28) that includes at least one vertical rib (30) that extends along the bottom surface between one of the first and second pairs of opposed walls. The rib (30) has an upper end that is covered by a top layer so as to define a smooth profile along the bottom surface. Therefore, the ridge (28) provides reinforcement to the container while minimizing the potential for damaging produce stored and transported therein.
