A substrate transport container is provided. Substrate transport container includes a container and a cover. The container includes an open top portion and a closed bottom portion, each having a perimeter greater than the middle portion of the container. The cover further includes a carrier, which is used for transporting information pertaining to the substrate. The interior of the container includes insert members. The insert includes outer and inner guide rails, compound slanted guides, recessed buttons and catch knobs. The rails are open at the top to provide an easy guide when placing the substrate in the container. The rails then narrow, and along with the compound slanted guides, provide a design that securely holds the substrate in place. The insert is angled such that the outer rim of the substrate will only contact the insert. The insert and container are formed together through a two shot or over molding process.
