A low depth tray (10) for bottles is provided which includes a first pair of opposed walls (14,16), a second pair of opposed walls(18,20) attached to the first pair of opposed walls (14,16) to form a wall structure, and a base (12) attached to the wall structure. At least one interior column (42) projects upwardly within the wall structure, where the interior column (42) has a height less than the height of bottles loaded in the tray (10). A plurality of interior divider walls (52) of double-walled construction project upwardly from the base (12) and extend between the one or more interior columns (42) and the wall structure. Together, the divider walls (52), interior columns (42), base (12), and outer wall structure define a plurality of bottle retaining pockets (58), where each pocket (58) includes at least one divider wall (52) and is sized to receive a single bottle therein.
