Abstract
A sheet of corrugated paperboard formed into eleven panels, with a central panel, two end panels, and eight intermediate panels, that are interconnected at fold lines so that the sheet can be folded to form a rail for withstanding a load. The sheet can be folded to form a rail with only six vertical support panels and two diagonal support panels, only two folds against the prevailing fold direction, and only three glue areas. Also, the sheet has openings that, when the sheet is folded into the rail, align to form channels for receiving forklift arms.
