Methods of making a protective cover. According to one method, a composite sheet is formed by providing a substrate formed from a nonwoven material having a puncture resistance exceeding 500 N, the substrate having a first surface and a second surface, disposing a first layer of plastic film on the substrate first surface and a second layer of plastic film on the substrate second surface. The composite sheet has a first end, a second end, a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, and an axis extending between the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge. The method also includes folding the composite sheet about the axis to bring the first end of the composite sheet proximate the second end of the composite sheet and define a partially enclosed space having an opening proximate the first and second ends of the composite sheet.

A pallet stabilizer formed from a paperboard blank including a central panel having opposing first and second outer longitudinal sides, and opposing first and second lateral sides. At least one beam body is defined by a body flap formed integral with the central panel and comprises a plurality of flap panels connected in series at respective panel fold lines. Two of the flap panels define longitudinally extending opposing beam sides extending transverse to a plane defined by the central panel. One of the flap panels is located distal from the central panel and is hingedly connected to each of the two flap panels defining the beam sides. A glue tab is connected to one of the beam sides and is attached in overlapping relation on the central panel, and opposing longitudinal beam edges are spaced longitudinally inward from the opposing outer longitudinal sides of the central panel.

A pallet assembly for transporting a transportable unit. The pallet assembly includes a first pallet member including a support surface with at least one wall extending upwardly therefrom and a second pallet member including a support surface with at least one wall extending therefrom. A band is configured to be secured about the at least one wall of both the first and second pallet members after the transportable unit is positioned on both the first and second pallet member support surfaces such that a unified structure for transport is formed.

A method of forming a packaging brace for a washing machine appliance includes providing a flat blank. The method also includes folding a left side panel and a right side panel of the flat blank inwards towards each other. The method further includes positioning a bottom panel of the blank above an opening in a cabinet of the washing machine and inserting the bottom panel into a basket of the washing machine through the opening whereby a contoured profile of the opening urges the blank to fold and form a packaging brace for the washing machine appliance.
