Abstract: A disposable freight pallet.The freight pallet is made of sheet-formed material and has a support plate (14) with parallel ribs (13,16) depending from the underside thereof. The plate material (2) for the pallet blank (1) is reinforced with foil material on at least one side thereof. The ribs are produced by forming a plurality of parallel, V-shaped grooves (5,6,7,8) in two opposing end sections of the plate, the bottom of the grooves extending almost to the inside face of the reinforcing foil (3), and bending the strip portions (9,10,11,12) of plate material formed between said grooves back from the plane of the plate. At least four grooves (5,6,7,8) are formed in the same surface of the plate (2). All the strip portions (9,10, 11,12) are folded back in the same direction, and the fourth strip (12), counting outwardly from the center of the plate, is thereby disposed with its upper surface in contact with the underside of the support plate (14) and is secured thereto, preferably by gluing (15).

Abstract: The present invention relates to collapsible side walls for a packing case, consisting of four wall sections hinged together at the side edges. The side walls are primarily intended to be used in connection with a cover and a bottom, for packing goods, e.g. bulk freight or small single items, which are to be transported on pallets. Each wall section consists of two facing plates being mutually spaced by means of parallel, mutually spaced ribs. The hinge at the side edges of each wall section is formed from a strip of pliable material whose longitudinal edges are secured in the slot between the plates of the wall sections.
