A system for holding a plurality of containers includes an upper construct having a plurality of panels, each panel of the plurality of panels comprising a plurality of container retention features for at least partially receiving a respective container of the plurality of containers, and a lower construct, the lower having a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the lower construct for at least partially receiving the plurality of containers.

A container pallet (10) is provided which includes a lattice of walled cells (12) for supporting a plurality of tessellatable containers in a close packed arrangement. Each walled cell (12) has a profile of a polygon that is tessellatable with itself or one or more other polygons and each walled cell (12) comprises a lower side wall (16). An upper side wall (14) may be provided in each walled cell and inset from the lower side wall, and/or a retaining lip may be provided around some or all of the periphery the container pallet. The container pallet may be modular.

A retrofit system optimized to enhance the securement of goods onto a pallet is provided. The system may comprise a plurality of blocks symmetrically positioned around the perimeter of the pallet, each block having a securing plate with a centered anchor. A two-piece strap, operably connected by a ratcheting mechanism, is used to secure goods on the pallet by engaging cable fasteners attached to the straps with the anchors on the blocks. The system also includes a net secured to the straps, providing additional protection and stability by distributing pressure evenly across the goods. The method of incorporating the retrofit system involves fastening the blocks to the pallet using various fastening mechanisms and aligning the blocks with the pallet's edges. The system's straps are constructed from durable, flexible materials resistant to tearing and abrasion, ensuring reliable securement under diverse transportation conditions.

Cargo assemblages including a pallet, a load of packages arranged in one or more layers, and a support layer, in which the support layer is sized and positioned within the cargo assemblage to support and/or stabilize the cargo, thereby providing improved pallet efficiency, improved shipping efficiency, and/or improved stability.

This invention presents a digitalizable, returnable packaging structure for a range of modular items, such as photovoltaic modules, combining environmental sustainability with advanced technology. Central to this design is a pallet featuring equidistantly spaced and concavely shaped support legs with reinforcement grooves for stability. These legs also have electronic labels (RFID, barcode, QR code) for efficient tracking. Stacked on top of the pallet is a packaging box, or multiple boxes, secured by a cover plate with placement slots and banding notches, along with binding straps for added stability. The pallet body includes side strips for module placement and features like side slots and circular grooves to optimize weight and integrity. This design ensures secure packaging and efficient transport, reducing recognition errors. Using plastic materials provides cost savings and environmental benefits, significantly enhancing photovoltaic module packaging.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method of strapping a load, a strapping machine for strapping a load, and a pallet with strap channels.
