A system for palletizing cargo includes a number of components that may be combined to produce an assembled pallet of cargo. A pallet base provides a cargo area where a payload may be stacked. The pallet base includes protective features such as feet that raise the payload above surface level, bumpers that prevent and absorb impacts to the pallet base, and a rim that encircles the cargo area. A pallet top is placed on top of the payload, opposite the pallet base, and a set of straps are used to connect the pallet base to the pallet top and friction fit the payload therebetween. Each of the base and top include a series of holes and spacers that allow airflow to pass around the bottom and top of the payload, while the bumpers allow airflow around the sides, even when the assembled pallets are surrounded by other cargo.

A system for packaging a plurality of packing units consisting of packaging sleeves and packing-unit overwrapping on a pallet is illustrated and described, including: a plurality of packing units made of packaging sleeves and packing-unit overwrapping, the packing unit overwrapping enclosing the packaging sleeves; a pallet for stacking the packing units; pallet overwrapping, which encloses the packing units stacked on the pallet; and at least one insert provided under and/or between and/or over the stacked packing units, wherein: the packaging sleeves are produced from a composite material; each packaging sleeve has a front side and a rear side; the front side and the rear side of each packaging sleeve are separated from one another by folding edges, along which the packaging sleeve is folded flat; each packaging sleeve has two openings which are arranged on opposite sides of the packaging sleeve; each packaging sleeve has a longitudinal seam which connects two edges of the composite material to form a peripheral packaging sleeve; and the pallet overwrapping is produced from a plastics film. In order to allow space-saving, cost-effective and secure transport of packaging sleeves, the invention proposes that the packing-unit overwrapping be produced from a plastics film.

Packaging configuration comprising: a pallet comprising a top surface, a bottom surface and a height HP; a first stack of bagged goods having a total height HL 1, stacked on the pallet and comprising at least two layers; and a support structure comprising at least four walls situated over the first stack of bagged goods, one of the walls being a top wall and at least three of the walls being sidewalls. The support structure has a height HC that meets one of the following equations: HC>HL 1, when the bottom end of at least one sidewall of the support structure is positioned on the top surface of the at least one pallet; or HC>HP+HL 1, when the bottom end of at least one sidewall of the support structure and the bottom surface of the pallet are both positioned on the same surface. An air gap having a height HAG is situated between a top layer of the first stack of bagged goods and the top wall of the support structure.

A pallet has a lower deck having two sides, two ends, and at least two feet, a frame mounted to the lower deck, the frame forming a pocket, an access site, one of either adjacent to, or within, the frame positioned to allow access to the pocket, and a cover over the frame to enclose the pocket, the cover to become a load area when a load is placed on the pallet.

Disclosed is a blank that is foldable into multiple configurations. The folded blank may be useful as a tray or cap to support a plurality of packages stacked to form a floor loaded unit load. In other embodiments the tray may be used to support a unit load stacked onto a pallet for storage and transport. The various tray configurations each have different dimensions to accommodate and secure a range of unit load dimensions.

A pallet system has a pallet having two sides, two ends, a load area, and at least two feet. At least one of the feet has inside of it a reel rod holding a first gear, a front compartment cover, a hinge to allow the front compartment cover to open, and at least one cable on the reel rod.

A pallet assembly including a plurality of trays separated by supports is provided. Each of the supports includes a rectangular portion and a wing portion. The wing portion is formed from two layers of materials connected together by a locking tab or other suitable means. The wing portion can include a first portion and a second portion at an angle with respect to the first portion. A tab can be used to facilitate placing the first portion of the wing at the angle with respect to the second portion of the wing.

A dispenser transport pallet assembly for transporting a dispenser having a given configuration. The assembly includes a base member having a body with a lower surface and an upper surface. A plurality of rail members extend upward from the upper surface to define a plurality of lower cavities. A top cap has a cover surface with a plurality of rail members extending downward from an inner surface thereof to define a plurality of upper cavities. Each of the upper cavities is aligned with a respective lower cavity and each pair of upper and lower cavities is configured to receive and retain a respective dispenser.

A method for packaging masonry products, comprising stacking the masonry product. Wrapping the masonry product with a packaging film from a first position to a second position below a top of the product. Placing a top sheet on the top of the masonry product, the top sheet forming at least one vent assembly. Wrapping the masonry product and the top sheet with the packaging film below the vent assembly.
