Edge molding for nesting stackable shipping containers

摘要

An edge molding is adapted to trace the edges of a shipping container and be placed thereon. The edge molding is configured with a ledge for internesting another edge molding when said edge moldings are mounted on cartons, one carton internesting with another. The edge molding has a nesting rack pivotally mounted to be pivoted and rest outside of the perimeter of the edge molding and pivotal to mount at least a portion of the edge rack within the perimeter of the molding. In this latter position, the rack rests on the edge molding and is capable of supporting a shipping container nested above it without the carton substantially breaching the volume on which the container is nested.
