Abstract: A pallet comprising a flat top member (1) having depending sides (2, 3, 4, 5,) and a base member comprising eight generally triangular elements (6 to 13, 30 to 33, 40 to 47) each formed from closely packed elements of single-face corrugated paperboard in which the corrugations are perpendicular to the top member (1), and forklift openings (14 to 29) formed in the edges of the base elements. In another form the pallet is formed from a single winding of single-face corrugated paperboard to define a central square opening 52, a pair of opposed generally triangular openings 53, 54, a pair of opposed truncated triangular openings 55, 56 at 90.degree. to the triangular openings 53, 54, a further pair of larger truncated triangular openings 57, 58 located at 45.degree. to the preceding pair, a further pair of slightly larger truncated triangular openings 59, 60 at 90.degree. to the preceding pair, two further opposed pairs of larger triangular openings 61, 62, 63, 64 at 45.degree.

Abstract: A low-cost sleeping bag comprising a sheet of recycled lining paper formed into overlying loops to define a envelope closed at one end and open at the other, and intermediate layers of corrugated or dimpled paper inserted between the overlying portions of the overlying loops to provide cushioning and insulative properties.
