The invention relates to a stackable transport container, particularly for fruits, vegetables or dairy products, in which a one-piece blank has a quadrangular bottom and four walls rising upwardly and slanting slightly outwardly therefrom, which walls delimit an upwardly widening container filling space. In the four corners thereof there are arranged upright stacking supports formed by parts of the blank and serving for stiffening the container. The upper edges of the stacking supports are arranged below the upper edges of the adjacent container side wall sections so that during the stacking of two nested containers, the bottom of the upper container rests on the stacking supports of the lower container, the upper edges of the container side walls of the lower container securing the upper container against lateral displacement. Each stacking support is constituted by parts of the blank which can be pushed towards the container filling space and can be pushed back again so that these parts align with the adjacent sections of the container side walls. Thus transport room can be saved by nesting empty containers more closely one to each other after pushing back the stacking supports. Into the hollow space formed by each stacking support and the adjacent container side walls an insert body may be withdrawable inserted, which insert body rests on the container bottom and has an enlarged top surface.

A stackable transport container comprising a one-piece container blank which can be flattened when not in use, having a quadrilateral bottom and four walls extending from the bottom in an upward and outwardly inclined direction to define a container space widening in an upward direction, stack supports formed of portions of the container blank wall portions which are adapted to be pushed into the container space and pushed back out of the container space, being provided at four corners of the container space in the erected condition of the container and having their upper edges located at a level that is lower than the upper edges of the adjacent portions of the walls of the container, said stack supports being formed of quadrilateral container blank portions which are in connection with the adjacent wall portions of the container along folding lines, all of said folding lines being located in a vertical position in the erected condition of the container and diverging from each other toward the upper edges of the stack support, said blank portions of each container space corner defining together with the imaginary extensions of the side walls of the container in the erected condition of the container a cavity that tapers in a downward direction and that extends from the upper end of the stack support to its lower end, the upper end of said cavity being open, and an insert member of rigid material being provided for each of said container space corners that is inserted in or removed from the cavity of each stack support, said insert member, when inserted in the cavity, resting on the bottom of the container and having a base body and a supporting surface extending above the upper edge of the stack support but being located at a level that is lower than the upper edges of the adjacent portions of the side walls of the container, so that, in use, with an upper container being stacked on a lower container, said supporting surface supports the bottom of an immediately overlying container within a stack and the upper edges of the walls of the lower container prevent the upper container from lateral sliding movement relative to the lower container, the surfaces of each insert member contacting the walls of said stack supports, and each insert member, when in position, gripping an inwardly folded flap of the container and thereby locking the container blank in the erected position thereof.
