A stackable crate for transporting potted plants and the like includes opposing trays spaced apart by support structures. The trays form a top and bottom for the stackable crate. Each of the trays have side walls and end walls. The side walls are orthogonal to the end walls to thereby define four corners for the opposing trays. Each of the support structures has a plurality of upstanding panels which define interior and exterior walls for the stackable crate. Two of the upstanding panels are parallel and joined at their ends by one other upstanding panel of the plurality of upstanding panels so to form corners for the support structures. At least one of the corners so formed is an exterior corner for the stackable crate. The support structures are configured relative to the opposing trays such that each of the exterior corners are in substantial abutting alignment with each of the corners of the opposing trays to thereby form substantially closed ends and partially open sides for the stackable crate. The partially open sides facilitate access to the interior storage space of the stackable crate and enhance air flow therethrough.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A light weight stackable crate particularly suited for storing and transporting products, comprising:(a) opposing trays forming a top and bottom for said stackable crate, each of said trays having side walls and end walls; and(b) a plurality of support structures separating said opposing trays, each of said support structures comprising a plurality of upstanding panels which define interior and exterior walls for said stackable crates, two of said upstanding panels being parallel and joined to one other upstanding panel of said plurality of upstanding panels which is a central panel, said support structures configured substantially perpendicular to said opposing trays such that at least one of said parallel upstanding panels is in substantial parallel and abutting alignment with a portion of at least one of said end walls to thereby form substantially closed ends and partially open sides for said stackable crate, said partially open sides facilitating access to an interior storage space of said stackable crate and enhancing air flow through said stackable crate.
