A connecting device for the combined vertical and side-by-side stacking of rectangular containers which have complementary interlocking stacking elements only on their upper and lower surfaces, the device comprising a plurality of rectangular connector plates of minimal thickness and arranged in edge to edge relation with each other, the connector plates having upper and lower surfaces to confront the bottoms and tops of such containers, and also having lateral sides to confront adjacent lateral sides of adjacent connector plates, the connector plates having complementary interlocking type stacking elements on their upper and lower surfaces to interlock with similar stacking elements of the containers, such that they can be connected between any two containers in a stack, such plates further having complementary interlocking elements on their lateral sides and rigidly securing the lateral sides of adjacent plates together, such that aligned plates in adjacent container stacks can be detachably interconnected, to thereby lock together a plurality of container stacks in a compact block.
