A container and its cover particularly suitable for use in the packing and shipping of produce is described. The container comprises a plurality of relatively thin sidewalls which are joined by moveable corner members adapted to assume an inwardly directed draft when in a nesting configuration and an outwardly directed draft when in a stacking configuration. The outwardly directed draft assumed by the corner members during stacking permits the loads encountered in stacking to be removed from the side walls and carried by the corner members. The cover corners and corner members of the container are further provided with mating grooves and beads which interlock in a male-female relationship during stacking. In addition, both the cover and bottom members of the container are domed to reduce slipping and twisting of one container relative to another stacked thereon during shipping.
