Pallet and load packaging method

A pallet comprising:

• a loading member made from paper onto which a load is loaded;
• a leg member made from paper which is fixed to the loading member and, as well as supporting the loading member when a load is loaded on the loading member, forms an insert body receiving member into which is inserted an insert body used during transportation;
• and
• a base member made from paper which is fixed to an opposite side of the leg member to the loading member,
• wherein the loading member is formed by superposing more sheets of paper than are supposed to form the base member and is provided with an extended portion which extends outwards firther than the load which is loaded onto the loading member;
• and
• wherein the loading member has a centrally disposed step portion provided with a peripheral portion which is flush with side surfaces of the load when the load is loaded on the loading member.

• and
• a base member made from paper which is fixed to an opposite side of the leg member to the loading member,
• wherein the loading member is formed by superposing more sheets of paper than are supposed to form the base member and is provided with an extended portion which extends outwards further than the load which is loaded onto the loading member;
• and
• wherein the extending portion is formed so as to bend the loading member towards the load at a position further from an outer edge portion of the load loaded onto the loading member than a thickness of an intermediate packaging material with which the load is intermediately packaged.

• a base member made from paper which is fixed to an opposite side of the leg member to the loading member,
• wherein the loading member is formed by superposing more sheets of paper than are supposed to form the base member;
• and
• wherein a plurality of housing portions are formed in the loading member which houses a transporting member for transporting the load, and is able to allow the transporting member to be removed when the load has been loaded on the loading member by the transporting member.

• and
• a base member made from paper which is fixed to an opposite side of the leg member to the loading member;
• an intermediate packaging material which includes a lower intermediate packaging material disposed on said loading member, prior to said load being loaded, and an upper intermediate packaging member disposed on said load and covering side surfaces of said load,
• wherein the loading member is formed by superposing more sheets of paper than are supposed to form the base member;
• and
• wherein the loading member is provided with an extended portion which extends outwards further than the load which is loaded onto the loading member.
