A low depth tray for bottles is provided which includes a first pair of opposed walls, a second pair of opposed walls attached to the first pair of opposed walls to form a wall structure, and a base attached to the wall structure. At least one interior column projects upwardly within the wall structure, where the interior column has a height less than the height of bottles loaded in the tray. A plurality of interior divider walls of double-walled construction project upwardly from the base and extend between the one or more interior columns and the wall structure. Together, the divider walls, interior columns, base, and outer wall structure define a plurality of bottle retaining pockets, where each pocket includes at least one divider wall and is sized to receive a single bottle therein.

What is claimed is: 1. A low depth tray for bottles, comprising: a first pair of opposed walls; a second pair of opposed walls attached to the first pair of opposed walls to form a wall structure; a base attached to the wall structure; at least one interior column projecting upwardly within the wall structure, the at least one interior column having a height less than the height of bottles loaded in the tray; and a plurality of interior divider walls which project upwardly from the base and extend between the at least one column and the wall structure, the divider walls having a double-walled construction, wherein the divider walls, the at least one interior column, the base, and the wall structure define a plurality of bottle retaining pockets, each pocket including at least one divider wall and sized to receive a single bottle therein. 2. The tray according to claim 1, wherein the wall structure includes an upper wall portion having a plurality of upwardly projecting wall columns. 3. The tray according to claim 2, wherein the wall columns and the at least one interior column are substantially equal in height. 4. The tray according to claim 2, wherein the wall columns and the at least one interior column are substantially hollow. 5. The tray according to claim 2, wherein each wall column includes at least one curved surface contoured to the shape of bottles loaded in the tray, and wherein the at least one interior column is substantially octagonal and includes curved surfaces disposed on alternating sides thereof which are contoured to the shape of bottles loaded in the tray. 6. The tray according to claim 5, wherein the wall columns and the at least one interior column include an opening adjacent the base on the curved surfaces thereof. 7. The tray according to claim 1, wherein the wall structure has a double-walled construction and includes a lower wall portion having a substantially flat outer wall and a generally curved inner wall. 8. The fray according to claim 7, wherein the lower wall portion includes a plurality of windows formed therein. 9. The fray according to claim 1, wherein the divider walls each include at least one curved surface contoured to the shape of bottles loaded in the fray. 10. The tray according to claim 1, wherein each of the second pair of opposed walls includes a handle, each handle including a cutout portion formed adjacent to the base, and a slot formed above the cutout portion, such that a user's fingers can be inserted into the cutout portion and through the slot in a palm-up orientation, and into the slot and through the cutout portion in palm-down orientation. 11. The fray according to claim 1, wherein the base includes an upper surface including a plurality of spaced bottle support areas, wherein each bottle support area forms part of one bottle retaining pocket and includes a generally circular central portion. 12. The tray according to claim 11, wherein each bottle support area further includes a concave perimeter portion which at least partially surrounds the central portion and is attached to the at least one divider wall of the bottle retaining pocket. 13. The fray according to claim 1, wherein the base includes a lower surface having generally circular receiving areas having central retaining openings sized to receive bottle closures therein, wherein the receiving areas are operable to guide the bottle closures into the corresponding retaining openings.
