ABSTRACT:
A pallet structure includes a rectangular paper blank folded to define a first side stringer, a second side stringer, and a central stringer. This paper blank includes: (a) a first folding line adjacent to a first end portion of the paper blank, wherein the first folding line defines a first folding flap, (b) a second folding line adjacent to a second end portion of the paper blank, wherein the second folding line defines a second folding flap, (c) a first set of four folding lines, including a third folding line, a fourth folding line, a fifth folding line, and a sixth folding line, located between the first and second folding lines, wherein the first set of four folding lines defines a third folding flap, a fourth folding flap, and a fifth folding flap, and (d) a second set of four folding lines, arranged symmetric to the first set of four folding lines with respect to a center of the paper blank, wherein the second set of four folding lines includes a seventh folding line, an eighth folding line, a ninth folding line, and a tenth folding line, and wherein the second set of four folding lines defines a sixth folding flap, a seventh folding flap, and an eighth folding flap. When the paper blank is folded, the first and second folding flaps are spaced apart from one another and define the central stringer, the third, fourth, and fifth folding flaps define the first side stringer, and the sixth, seventh, and eighth folding flaps define the second side stringer. Additionally, a plurality of elongated stuffing boards are provided in each of the central stringer, the first side stringer, and the second side stringer.
