Abstract

A half-depth molded plastic beverage case (1) has a bottom wall (11) with a plurality of uniformly distributed beverage container seating areas (12). Upstanding side walls (13, 14) and upstanding end walls (15, 16) extend upwardly from opposite sides and ends, respectively, of the bottom wall. The side and end walls are divided into upper and lower wall portions (A and B) of approximately equal height, and a handle (18A, 18B) is formed in the upper portion of each of the side walls and end walls. The lower wall portion of one case is nestable fully into the upper wall portion of another case, whereby two of the cases nested together have a combined height equal to the height of a single case.
