Stackable box

A stackable box for accommodating and for transporting articles and for stacking in a stacking direction with at least one other box of a same type, the stackable box comprising:

• a base,
• a side wall that projects beyond the base and surrounds the base at least partially, the base and the side wall together bound an accommodating space of the box adapted for accommodating the articles, the side wall including side-wall portions that are integrally connected to adjacent ones of the side-wall portions in an upright position relative to the base by corner regions,
• at least two, spaced-apart adapters in the side wall, the two, spaced-apart adapters being adapted for mechanical gripping by at least one gripping device,
• the at least two, spaced-apart adapters in the side wall comprise channels which extend longitudinally in a longitudinal-extent direction that extends parallel to the stacking direction, the channels each have an entry opening, an exit opening and an inner channel cavity that extends therebetween that is bounded by a channel-boundary wall that extends longitudinally in the longitudinal-extent direction, the entry opening, the inner channel cavity and the exit opening defining a single clear open channel having a same shape in cross-section normal to a stacking direction and being configured such that the at least one gripping device having a shape coordinated with the channel is guidable through the entry opening, the inner channel cavity and the exit opening, and
• wherein the channel-boundary wall of each said channel further comprises at least one undercut that is adapted to form, with the gripping device, a form fit acting in the longitudinal-extent direction of the channel, the at least one undercut is formed in a region of the exit opening of each of the channels, and a clearance is incorporated in the channel-boundary wall in a region of the entry opening of each of the channels, with the clearance creating a space in the channel-boundary wall that is configured to receive a catch of the at least one gripping device.
