Abstract: A shipping pallet is constructed of multiple laminations of corrugated sheet material, with specific construction details providing advantages in strength and trueness of the completed pallet, and further advantages in the reduction of tooling and labor costs. The stringers or runners, deck boards, and top and bottom sheets may be sawn from stacks of plural laminations, thus precluding any requirement for costly dies and intensive labor. Asymmetrical corrugated sheets may be used, with one side having a different weight than the other. By laminating two such sheets together with like weighted sides in contact, the tendency of such sheets to curve or warp due to the difference in side thickness is substantially eliminated. Different orientations of the corrugations or flutes of the sheets during lamination and assembly of the pallet, provide advantages in strength for specific applications.

Abstract: A block shipping pallet is constructed of multiple laminations of corrugated sheet material, with specific construction details providing advantages in strength and trueness of the completed pallet, and further advantages in the reduction of tooling and labor costs. The pallet comprises top and bottom sheets with a series of blocks formed of multiple laminations of corrugated sheet material sandwiched between. The top and bottom sheets, and particularly the intermediate blocks, may be sawn from stacks of plural laminations, thus precluding any requirement for costly dies and intensive labor. Asymmetrical corrugated sheets may be used with one side having a different weight than the other. By laminating two such sheets together with like weighted sides in contact, the tendency of such sheets to curve or warp due to the difference in side thickness is substantially eliminated.

Abstract: A telescoping shipping container for fragile articles and formed of corrugated sheet material includes an upper portion and a lower portion, each respectively having an upper end and a lower end with standard flap closure. The upper portion telescopes completely over the lower portion, to effectively double the thickness of the side walls of the package. The inner/lower portion includes a complete lining of resilient foam padding for further protection of articles contained therein; the inside of the upper lid is also similarly lined. By forming each portion of double plies or laminates of corrugated material, the sides of the closed package or container effectively include four corrugated layers, which along with the resilient foam lining, provides superior protection against penetration and damage to the package. The corrugated material may be cardboard, plastic, or other suitable sheet material capable of being similarly formed.
