A stacking element is formed to engage two vertically stacked articles to hold the articles in position and is provided with projections on its external periphery to engage the projections on adjacent elements. These elements will maintain the articles in a stack against vertical and lateral displacement, so the stack will remain assembled during storage and transport.

A molded plastic stacking element for assembling a plurality of similar articles vertically and laterally in a stack in a plurality of tiers with the articles in each tier laterally adjacent, said stacking element having a closed, peripheral configuration with a radial projection in a plane on its inner periphery to be interposed between two vertically adjacent articles and upper and lower rib formations on said closed configuration for laterally engaging rims on lower and upper ends of said vertically adjacent articles, said element having a series of spaced, solid lateral projections in said plane of said radial projection and extending laterally outwardly from its outer periphery a distance at least as great as the width of a projection and spaced by complementary spaces corresponding to said lateral projections in size and shape to receive and laterally engage similar projections on a laterally adjacent stacking element so that a plurality of said projections on adjacent elements will interengage in substantially any relative positions of said elements.
