Box-shaped container made from a plastic material

A plastic container, comprising:

• a base having a top side defining a planar commodity supporting surface, which is limited by two longitudinal walls and two transverse walls defining together an inner space of said container, a bottom side, and an edge portion, which is defined by a portion of said base projecting beyond said two longitudinal walls and said two transverse walls;
• first and second stiffening ribs located on said bottom side and extending, respectively, parallel to said longitudinal walls and said transverse walls for stabilizing said base;
• a plurality of flat straps, which extend along a perimeter of said edge portion inward thereof and substantially parallel to said base in a spaced relationship thereto and parallel to said longitudinal walls and said transverse walls, wherein said flat straps form a foot surface of said container;
• a plurality of third stiffening ribs which extend along the perimeter of said edge portion inwardly thereof and transverse to said bottom side and parallel to said longitudinal walls and said transverse walls, for connecting said flat straps with said bottom side;
• wherein respective portions of said bottom side of said base, said flat straps, outer ribs of said first and second stiffening ribs and said third stiffening ribs form a plurality of pocket-like free spaces each having opposite lateral sides, which are defined by outer and inner boundary edges of a respective flat strap, an opening formed between said bottom side and a respective boundary edge of the respective flat strap at one of said opposite lateral sides, and a downwardly open passage at another of said opposite lateral sides, which is formed by a clearance between another boundary edge of the respective flat strap and a respective outer rib.
