Multilevel bakery tray

A multi level bakery tray comprising in combination:

• a generally rectangular bottom;
• opposed side walls and opposed end walls extending upwardly from the bottom, the tray being stacked with a like tray in a like orientation in a first position, in a second position when rotated 180.degree. about its vertical axis, and in a third position when rotated 90.degree. about its vertical axis;
• four feet formed along a lower edge of each end wall;
• four shallow pockets formed along an upper edge of each end wall to receive the feet of a stacked tray when trays are stacked in a like orientation in the first position;
• four deep pockets formed along an upper edge of each end wall to receive the feet of a stacked tray when trays are stacked in a 180.degree. orientation in the second position;
• a pair of guide rails formed along the bottom, each guide rail extending substantially along the length of an end wall;
• and
• shoulders formed along outer edges of the side walls to support the guide rails when the tray is blind stacked and unstacked with another tray;
• wherein a majority of one of a front surface and a rear surface of each of the four feet is sloped upwardly toward one of a front and a rear of said tray to facilitate blind stacking and unstacking of the tray with the another tray.

• a plurality of shallow pockets formed along upper edges of the end walls to receive the feet of a stacked tray when trays are stacked in the first position, a front surface of at least one shallow pocket being sloped upwardly and toward a front of the tray;
• a plurality of deep pockets formed along upper edges of the end walls to receive the feet of a stacked tray when trays are stacked in the second position, a front surface of at least one deep pocket being sloped upwardly toward a front of the tray;
• and
• a plurality of feet formed along lower edges of the end walls, a majority of a front surface of at least one of the feet being sloped upwardly and toward a front of the tray to slide along the front surface of at least one shallow pocket and facilitate removal of the feet from the shallow pockets when stacked trays are blind unstacked from the first position, a majority of a rear surface of at least one of the feet being sloped upwardly and toward a back of the tray to slide along the front surface of at least one deep pocket and facilitate removal of the feet from the deep pockets when stacked trays are blind unstacked from the second position.
