A container system includes first and second containers. Each of the containers includes a bottom wall and a plurality of sidewalls extending from the bottom wall. The sidewalls each include a first portion, a second portion, a lug between the first and second portions, with the lug extending substantially perpendicular relative to surfaces of the first and second portions. The sidewalls also each include a sealing rim including a surface that extends substantially perpendicular relative to a surface of the second portion. The second container is nestable in the first container with portions of the lugs of the second container resting on the surfaces of the sealing rims of the first container.
