A multi-purpose tray is provided which allows for stacking and cross-nesting of like trays, and allows for stacking, but not cross-nesting, of unlike trays. The tray includes a generally rectangular bottom surface having at least one cross-nesting aperture formed therein, and a pair of opposed end walls extending upwardly from the bottom surface. The opposed end walls include a plurality of feet formed along lower edges thereof and a plurality of pockets formed along upper edges thereof, wherein the pockets of the tray receive the feet of another tray when the trays are disposed in a stacked configuration. The tray further includes a pair of opposed side walls extending upwardly from the bottom surface and integrally joined with the pair of opposed end walls. One of the pair of opposed side walls includes at least one raised portion that is sized and located to be slidably received by the cross-nesting aperture of another like tray when the trays are disposed in a cross-nested configuration. Preferably, the cross-nesting aperture and the raised portion of the tray will cross-nest only with a tray having a similarly sized and located cross-nesting aperture.
