A distal end (6) of the sidewall portion beyond the parallel fold lines (5') may carry a pair of flaps (15) foldable so that distal end (6) is in the fully erected tray made of more than one thickness of material. The tray may be provided in a variety of sizes compatible with a standard returnable plastics crates. Several small trays placed side by side preferably occupy the same plan area as a large tray.
