Produce container with a centrally raised base with non-protruding, smooth edged apertures (aerating holes) with multiple steps on the side walls

摘要

A stackable crate for fresh produce which includes a base (2), a first and second spaced apart upright walls (4, 6) extending along the length of the base, third and fourth spaced apart upright walls (8, 10 extending along with the width of the base (2). The base (2) is raised so that a raised portion of the base adjacent the center thereof is nearer the mouth of the crate than the edges of the base that connect to at least the first and second of the third and fourth walls. The raised portion is resilient with respect to loads imposed thereon by contents of the container in use.
