plastic crate

Stackable storage bin

A plastic crate is a rigid container made of molded plastic, typically with slatted or ventilated sides and an open top.

Plastic crates are used for storing, transporting, and organizing goods—especially produce, beverages, and retail inventory.

They stack easily and withstand repeated use: The stockroom was full of plastic crates waiting to be unpacked.

Milk crates are a common variety, often repurposed as makeshift furniture or storage.
