A molded bucket comprises a bucket lip defining an enlarged annular projection at the mouth of the bucket; an inwardly positioned annular shelf facing the mouth adjacent the lip; and an outwardly positioned annular flange joined to said bucket adjacent the annular shelf to provide extra hoop strength to the area of the shelf. The lid for the bucket defines an annular recess receiving the annular projection of the bucket lip in locking relation and an annular straight wall which extends radially inwardly from the recess, at an angle of essentially 20°to 60°from the axis of the bucket, with the inner edge extending outwardly toward the mouth relative to the outer edge. The angled annular straight wall serves as a cantilever beam to transmit stacking force to the annular shelf, so that the bucket does not distort or collapse under conditions of high stacking, the bucket being preferably a tapered bucket.

A molded bucket, which comprises: a bucket lip defining an enlarged, annular projection at the mouth of said bucket; an inwardly positioned, annular self facing said mouth adjacent said lip; an outwardly positioned annular flange joined to said bucket adjacent said annular shelf, to provide extra hoop strength to the area of said annular shelf, which carries a lid attached to said lip, said lid defining in one piece a peripheral, annular recess receiving said annular projection in locking relation, and an annular, straight wall which extends radially inwardly from the vicinity of said recess at an angle of essentially 20°to 60°from the axis of said bucket, said annular straight wall being positioned with its outer edge adjacent said annular recess and abutting said annular shelf, and its inner edge extending outwardly toward said mouth relative to the outer edge, whereby said bucket and lid exhibit high stacking strength, an annular, upstanding flange is provided on the outer side of said lid at the inner edge of said annular recess.
