Methods of reducing the stacking height of containers, lids, and bases

摘要

A method for forming a reduced-height stack of containers wherein the containers stacked contain at least one undercut and at least one undercut receiving structure. The first container having an undercut at a first position and an undercut receiving structure at a second position. The second container having an undercut at a third position and an undercut receiving structure at a fourth position. The containers may be arranged so that the at least one undercut of the first container at the first position aligns with and fits into the at least one undercut receiving structure at the fourth position of the second container below the first container in the stack.
