Abstract: This invention relates to methods and apparatus for palletizing. The apparatus includes a flexible board blank which may be formed to provide a pallet having channels for insertion of the prongs of a fork lift truck. The pallet includes flaps which extend between stacked layers of bags to reinforce the load and pallet structure. The apparatus further includes an open sided box which may be utilized to form the blank into a pallet and permit ready stacking of units, such as deformable bags of seed, on the pallet. The method concerns the forming of the pallet from the blank and stacking of the units on the pallet.
