Abstract
A concave pallet with an inwardly sloping surface and lip is disclosed. The concave pallet includes a plurality of inwardly sloping surfaces meeting a surface plane equidistantly from the center point of the pallet. A lip encompasses the perimeter of the pallet and secures packages on the pallet. The lip interlocks with the bases of alike pallets for efficient stacking and storage when not in use for package shipment.
