Abstract:

A container may include a substantially planar horizontal base, and multiple, substantially vertical sidewalls, wherein at least one of the vertical sidewalls is a movable sidewall adjustable between a closed position and an opened position, such that an interior cavity of the container is accessible from at least two directions when the movable sidewall and a lid are both in an opened position. In one embodiment, each vertical sidewall may be aligned with an edge of the base, the base and vertical sidewalls thereby defining the interior cavity of the container. A lid may be adapted to enclose the interior cavity in a closed position and to provide access to the interior cavity in an opened position. A support structure may be included within the interior cavity to retain an item, such as a bakery item, in a substantially upright position during transport of the item in the container.
