Stackable carton for perishable commodities

摘要

A stackable carton particularly suited for packing fresh fruits and vegetables includes a tray with a rectangular floor panel and vertical side walls. The shorter side walls include end cover flaps with openings adjacent the upper edge. The floor panel includes a pair of openings in vertical alignment with openings in the end cover flap. Side cover flaps extend from the upper edges of the longer side walls. A generally rectangular stacking panel is fitted into each end of the tray with upwardly extending tabs which protrude through the openings in the end cover flaps. Each stacking panel also includes a pair of recesses at its lower edge which are aligned with openings in the rectangular floor panel of the tray. The trays can be vertically stacked with the openings in the floor of one tray being aligned with the protruding tabs at the upper surface of a lower tray.
