• an essentially orthogonal flat tray bottom that is a one-piece sheet metal, the tray bottom comprising
• a top;
• a base that is opposite to the top;
• and
• a plurality of side panels, each side panel extending a length defined by an entire distance between two adjacent corners of the tray bottom, each side panel including a connection that connects the top and the base together, the connection extending said length between the respective two adjacent corners, each side panel being flush with corners of the tray bottom, whereby two respectively adjoining side panels are connected together by a corner connector;
• a plurality of essentially rectangular side walls, wherein:
• each side wall is flat and configured to be closed;
• each side wall includes a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side;
• each side wall is detachably connected to at least one other side wall and to the tray bottom via plug-in connections, wherein three sides of the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side include the plug-in connections, wherein the side of the side wall not having the plug-in connections is a free side;
• each side wall includes an inside surface and an outside surface;
• each sidewall is made of sheet metal for preventing electrostatic charging of a plastic receptacle that is stored in the tray;
• wherein the base includes a wall section that runs parallel to a side panel of the plurality of side panels, a base section that runs perpendicular to the side panel, and an insertion surface extending at an angle from the base section.
