Abstract
A preferred form of slip sheet () for use between layers (L) of containers, especially bottles (), in a palletised load, comprises a rectangular board () having marginal portions () formed with corrugations () extending perpendicular from their edges and merging into the general plane of the board (), whereby, in use, a 'throat' (TD) is formed between the upward corrugations () on a lower slip sheet () and the downward corrugations () on an upper slip sheet () which prevents 'walking' of the outermost rows of bottles () in the intervening layer. Curved corners of the board () are provided with diverging corrugations (X,X) to prevent ‘walking’ of bottles () from the corners of layers (L). A plurality of such slip sheets () can be stacked compactly and with great stability by virtue of the corrugations () nesting in the corrugations of neighbouring slip sheets.
