A plurality of recesses are defined in the bottom surface and arranged to engage containers loaded in a like crate therebeneath when in a stacked configuration. The plurality of recesses includes primary recesses capable of engaging at least two different sizes of containers, each primary recess having a first support region with a first depth with respect to the bottom surface and a second support region with a second depth with respect to the bottom surface, the first depth greater than the second depth. The wall structure may include four adjoined side walls each having a handle formed in a central portion of the side wall and extending upwardly above an upper rim of the side wall.
