A container for containing and transporting baked goods includes a front wall, left side wall, rear wall and a right side wall, wherein each of the walls is substantially orthogonal to a base. The base includes a substantially flat, smooth upper surface. Integrally formed as part of and rising from the base are a plurality of base projections, each with a plurality of sloped curved wall surfaces. There are at least two stacking feet per wall of the container. The container further includes 180° stacking recesses located on a rim that surrounds the container and that substantially prevent an upper container from shifting or sliding when stacked in a 180° stacking orientation, preferably for the transportation of baked goods. Each of the recesses further comprises a “U” or “[” shaped projection to interface and retain the stacking feet of an upper container when stacked in the 180° stacking orientation.

What is claimed is: 1. A container for shipping and storage of packages of baked goods, comprising: a front wall, a rear wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, and a base, wherein, each of the front wall, rear wall, left side wall, and right side wall are substantially orthogonal to the base; and a plurality of base projections located on an upper surface of the base of the container, wherein the base projections are configured to position two or more packages of baked goods such that the packages of baked goods are substantially prevented from sliding about an interior portion of the container, and wherein each of the plurality of base projections comprises: a plurality of angled surfaces, rising from the upper surface of the base of the container; and an upper surface, wherein the upper surface is joined together with an upper portion of each of the plurality of angled surfaces; and a curved surface forming an inwardly concave cross-section when taken perpendicular to a height of each base projection, wherein a radius of curvature of each of the curved surfaces is substantially similar to a radius of curvature of the package of baked goods. 2. The container according to claim 1, wherein the upper surface comprises: a plurality of cross pieces, wherein a first cross piece is fixedly attached to a first angled surface and a second oppositely located angled surface, and a second cross piece is fixedly attached to a third angled surface and a fourth oppositely located angled surface. 3. The container according to claim 2, wherein the plurality of cross pieces forms a grid with a plurality of openings. 4. The container according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of angled surfaces comprises four angled surfaces. 5. The container according to claim 1, wherein a height of each of the base projections is between about 20 percent and about 40 percent of an interior height of the walls of the container. 6. The container according to claim 1, wherein a height of each of the base projections is between about 25 percent and about 35 percent of an interior height of the walls of the container. 7. The container according to claim 1, wherein a height of each of the base projections is about 33.3 percent of an interior height of the walls of the container. 8. The container according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of base projections is configured to locate at least six separate stacks of packages of baked goods, such that the at least six separate stacks of packages of baked goods are substantially prevented from sliding about an interior portion of the container. 9. The container according to claim 8, wherein the plurality of base projections comprises two base projections. 10. The container according to claim 1, wherein the base projections are substantially truncated pyramid-shaped. 11. The container according to claim 1, wherein each of the base projections comprise an opening at an upper location of each of the base projections, such that each of the base projections of an upper container is configured to ventilate heat from a lower container that accumulates in the interior portion of the lower container after the container has been loaded with baked goods. 12. A container for shipping and storage of packages of baked goods, comprising: a front wall, a rear wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, and a base, wherein, each of the front wall, rear wall, left side wall, and right side wall are substantially orthogonal to the base; a rim surface located on an uppermost portion of each of the front wall, right side wall, rear wall, and left side wall; a plurality of stacking feet, each stacking foot defining a corresponding recessed nesting channel along an interior surface of the container and having an opening on the rim surface adapted for receiving a corresponding stacking foot of a substantially identical upper container in a 0° stacking orientation, wherein each of the plurality of stacking feet includes a lowermost portion configured to be positioned upon a substantially identical lower container in a 180° stacking orientation, and wherein the lowermost portion includes a stacking foot recess; and a plurality of rim surface recesses, wherein each of the plurality of rim surface recesses includes a rim surface recess projection within each rim surface recess that rises substantially orthogonally from a lowermost surface of the corresponding rim surface recess, wherein each of the rim surface recess projections of the lower container is configured to be positioned within each of a respective stacking foot recess of each of the plurality of stacking feet when an upper container is stacked on a lower container in a 180° stacking orientation, and further wherein, each of the rim surface recess projections is further configured to substantially prevent shifting and movement of each of the respective corresponding stacking feet of the upper container positioned on each of the rim surface recess projections of the lower container, thereby substantially preventing shifting and movement of the upper container. 13.
