US Patent 10556719 Pallet stabilizer

A pallet stabilizer formed from a paperboard blank. The pallet stabilizer includes a generally planar central panel having opposing first and second outer longitudinal sides, and opposing first and second lateral sides. A hollow beam structure including at least one beam body is defined by a body flap formed integral with the central panel and comprising 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 at respective panel fold lines. Opposing longitudinal beam edges are spaced longitudinally inward from the opposing outer longitudinal sides of the central panel.
