Shipping container of the type which can be stacked with a bottom part and a top part. Cooperative mating means is carried by the top and bottom parts whereby the top part is releasably secured to the bottom part to form an enclosure within the top and bottom parts. Cooperative stacking means is carried by the top part and the bottom part which are adapted to mate with containers of the same type so that the containers may be stacked with the top part of one of the containers engaging the bottom part of another container thereby inhibiting substantial lateral and longitudinal movement of the containers with respect to each other. The cooperative stacking means includes a plurality of spaced parallel rows of recesses extending in one direction in the outer surface of one of the parts. Protrusions are formed on the outer surface of the other part and have a shape so that they are adapted to fit within the recesses.

A shipping container of the type which can be stacked comprising a bottom part and a top part formed of a plastic foam material, said bottom part having a bottom wall, spaced generally parallel side walls and spaced generally parallel end walls, said side walls of said bottom part having vertical outer surfaces with tapered surfaces extending inwardly adjacent the lower portions thereof, said side walls of said bottom part having openings extending through the side walls of the bottom part and the tapered surfaces of the side walls of the bottom part, said tapered surfaces on the side walls of the bottom part having a height so that the openings in the bottom part extend solely through the tapered surfaces of the side walls of the bottom part, said top part having a top having a top wall, spaced generally parallel side walls and spaced generally parallel end walls, said side walls of said top part having vertical outer surfaces with tapered surfaces extending inwardly adjacent the upper portions thereof, said side walls of said top part having openings extending through the side walls of the top part and the tapered surfaces of the side walls of the top part, said tapered surfaces on the side walls of the top part having a height so that the openings in the top part extend solely through the tapered surfaces of the side walls of the top part, cooperative mating means carried by the bottom and top parts whereby the top part is releasably secured to the bottom part to form an enclosed volume within the bottom and top parts which is ventilated by the openings in bottom and top parts, cooperative stacking means carried by the bottom and top parts adapted to mate with containers of the same type so that the containers may be stacked with the top part of one container engaging the bottom part of another container and inhibiting substantial lateral and longtitudinal movement of the containers with respect to each other so that the containers are interlocked when stacked one on top of the other or when they are cross stacked, said cooperative stacking means including a plurality of spaced parallel rows of recesses in the outer surface of one of the parts, and protrusions formed on the outer surface of the other of the parts and having a shape so that they are adapted to fit within said recesses.
