Abstract

A disposable pallet comprises a base plate of corrugated cardboard and a plurality of block-shaped feet situated on the bottom side of the base plate. Each block-shaped foot is made of a strong corrugated cardboard and is substantially solid, said foot comprising a substantially planar laminate including at least ten layers of corrugated cardboard situated substantially perpendicular to the base plate. Compared to the main dimension of the base plate the block-shaped foot is of a relatively small height of 15-35 mm. The pallet is very simple and strong and furthermore very inexpensive.
