The pallet is constructed of paper or sheet stock. The pallet design involves a central platform (100) constructed of a honeycomb filler (100) supported by a number of footblocks (102, 104, 106). The bottom of the pallet is covered by a combination of sheets (110, 112). Desirably, the lower portion is formed of two sheets, the bottom cover (110) which is cut and folded in such a way that the legs and surface adjacent the bottom of the central portion are of the shape in which the pallet is finally used, and the lower facing sheet (112) which is of the general size and shape of the bottom with cutouts allowing the footblocks (102, 104, 106) to protrude through the lower facing sheet (112). The upper surface of the central platform is covered with the upper facing sheet (114). The upper facing sheet (114) may be a corrugate or heavy stock paper. A corrugate sheet may be used as the upper facing sheet and positioned so that the corrugations of the upper facing sheet (114) and those of the lower facing sheet (112) are not parallel. |
