ABSTRACT:
A shipping pallet, a shipping container, and a system for, and method of, spacing and shipping knobbed glass cookware covers which includes a collapsible pallet, multiple cover partitions and a top plate. The pallet has a horizontal, fork lift compatible frame and four vertical corner posts which may be removed for purposes of storing/stacking empty pallets. Fully-loaded pallets with corner posts inserted may also be stacked one above the other. The partitions are formed from corrugated cardboard into a shape similar to that of the pallet and include corner notches to engage the pallet's vertical posts. The pallets also have an array of circular indentations formed into their top surfaces and a small hole formed in the middle of each indentation. One glass cover's knob may project through the small hole from the partition's underside while a second cover's lower rim may sit within an indentation on the partition's top side. Covers from different layers are aligned in a vertical fashion upon the pallet. The foregoing assembly is secured by placing a rigid top plate, having holes to receive glass cover knobs, over the uppermost layer of covers and tying the partitions, covers and top plate to the pallet with wrapping straps to form a shipping container.
