Abstract: A slip pallet system for protecting the sides of palletized box loads is disclosed. The slip pallet system includes two sheets of tough pliable material which are arranged back-to-back and positioned between two box loads so that the upper surface of one sheet is in contact with the bottom of the upper box load while the upper surface of the second sheet is in contact with the top surface of the lower box load. Each sheet also includes at least one protective tab for folding along an edge of the sheet to protect a side of a box load from being punctured. At least one tab of each sheet has a tab folding member which extends from the underside surfaces of the tab. The folding members are designed to cooperate with each other when the sheets are arranged back-to-back so that the tabs from which the folding members extend pivot in opposite directions to fold the tabs against the sides of the upper and lower box loads, thereby protecting the box load sides.
