A base pad (10) for supporting an appliance during assembly and shipping is provided. The pad has a pair of endpieces (24), each having portions for supporting the weight of an appliance, a pair of crosspieces (22) connected to the endpieces to form a substantially rectangular base, and wrapping (26) substantially covering the weight supporting portions of the endpieces. In addition to providing strength, the wrapping may also help hold the crosspieces and endpieces together. The endpieces are formed of a low density material, such as expanded polystyrene and the wrapping is formed of a medium to high density material such as kraft paper. The combination of the crosspieces formed of a low density material and the medium to high density wrapping material provides an optimum combination of strength and cushioning.
