Abstract
An adhesive patch and method of use thereof for forming a plurality of stackable items into a vertically stacked load are described. The method may include delivering an aligned stack of items positioned on a pallet for eventual transportation while minimizing the misalignment of the stackable items.
Claims6
An assembly of packaging boxes arranged on a pallet for transport comprising:
- a first unitized cube of four boxes in stacked side-by side alignment on the pallet forming an intersection at the abutting four corners of the four boxes;
- a first adhesive patch located on the proximal side of the intersection of the four corners, a second adhesive patch located on the distal side of the intersection of the four corners;
- a second unitized cube of four boxes in stacked side-by side alignment forming an intersection at the abutting four corners of the four boxes;
- a third adhesive patch located on the proximal side of the intersection of the four corners of the second unitized cube;
- and,
- a fourth adhesive patch located on the distal side of the intersection of the four corners of the second unitized cube;
- wherein the second unitized cube is stacked on the first unitized cube in adjacent alignment along edges of the boxes of each of the first unitized cube and the second unitized cube forming vertical columns such that the corners of the boxes are stacked on top of each other from box to box to form an interface between the first unitized cube and the second unitized cube.
