1. A plate for forming successive layers of a stack of palettised receptacles having necks, comprising a sheet having indents, each indent forming at its centre on a first surface of the sheet a socket capable of receiving the rim of the neck of receptacles of a lower layer, and at its periphery on the second surface of the sheet a seating capable of receiving the bottom of receptacles of an upper layer, characterised in that towards the centre the cross-section of the indents is close to that of said bottom to bring the plate in contact with the bottom on stacking, the plate being engaged between the rim and the bottom only at the exterior edge (6a) of the lip of said rim, the flange (7a) of the bottom resting on the periphery of the indent but imposing only a minimum elastic deformation thereon. |
