Delivery tote with lid

Abstract

A nestable tote includes a base with product retention features protruding from an upper surface to define recesses for retaining items, such as jars, without interfering with nesting of identical totes. Variations include ribs, cross-ribs, segmented ribs, flexible straps, interlocking dividers, or grids with diamond intersections. A system includes the tote and a lid with a recess for stacking, configured to center the tote on an ASRS tray to prevent misalignment. Another system includes a pallet assembly with a top deck having recesses to securely receive totes or lidded totes, enabling multi-layer stacking. A method involves placing totes in the pallet recesses and transporting via pallet handling equipment.
