A system and method for storing and packing items are provided. Trays are provided with overlapping recesses conforming in shape at least partially to the perimeter of the items. The items are nested one within another on each tray, and each tray is nestingly engageable with other trays. Nesting thus occurs in at least two dimensions, and packing efficiency is maximized.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A system for storing implements each having a proximal end with handles and a distal end, the system comprising a plurality of trays, each of said trays further comprising at least one recess, said recess having a plurality of sub-sections, each of said sub-sections abutting an adjacent of said sub-sections, each of said sub-sections having a recess perimeter shaped to conform at least partially to a perimeter of each of the implements, said recess perimeters being formed in an abutting fashion, wherein when the implements are placed in said sub-sections of said recesses, the distal end of each implement will nest at least partially within the proximal handle end of an adjacent implement except for implements disposed on said trays with their respective distal ends near an edge of said trays, the implements thereby being nestably disposable on said trays in a plane, and wherein said trays are nestably stackable in a direction perpendicular to said plane when implements are disposed on said trays.
