stacking rim
According to Wörterbuch Logistik - Cornelsen
A heavy-duty plastic molded single-cell beverage case provided with a plurality of columnar support members extending from the upper stacking rim to the bottom of the case for transmitting and withstanding high compressive stacking forces, the support members defined by a ribbed structure. A plurality of horizontal ribs, an upper rectangular panel and triangular gusset plates disposed at the junction of the columnar members and said panel enhance the structual rigidity and strength of the case.

stacking ledge
I believe they mean the formation of the cases that allows them to interlock and stack.
Many references in the internet refer to this as a "stacking ledge".

Example sentence:
"Wide stacking ledge and anti-slide lock keep stacked bins steady and prevent forward shifting."
