Abstract (en)

A ready-to-use tray which can be set up from a collapsed position, comprising two pairs of support elements (8) each having a support panel (10) adjacent to the wall element, a support fold (11) adjacent to said support panel (10) and an outer support panel (12) adjacent to a support fold. In the collapsed position the outer support panels (12) are each folded back on the side remote from the bottom panel (1), relative to the inner support panels (10) of a corresponding support element (8). Bottom/wall folds (2) are adjacent to wall elements (4) of the second pair of wall elements and each terminate at a distance from the wall element (3) that is greater than the distance from a most proximal wall/support fold (9) to said wall element (3). In an area between each end of the bottom/wall folds (2) and said wall element (3) on the side of that end extends a free edge (26) of the bottom panel (1). In set-up position the support panels (8) each bear on the bottom panel (1) substantially throughout the distance between the wall/support fold (9) and the support fold (11) of said support panels. The ready-to-use tray according to the invention has improved stacking strength. <IMAGE>
