Claim:
1. A pallet produced from two flat blanks of corrugated paperboard which comprise a pallet top and a pallet bottom; said blanks are each folded to produce only two parallel vertically extending double thickness ribs, three horizontal panels, two vertical side walls and two horizontal flaps; in each of said blanks, one of said horizontal panels lies between said ribs and the other two horizontal panels lie on opposite sides of said two ribs, respectively; said vertical side walls of each said blank are attached to outer edges of said other two horizontal panels; said horizontal flaps on each blank are attached distal ends of said vertical side walls, respectively; said ribs of said pallet top and said pallet bottom lock each other from opening in the center of the pallet by intersecting perpendicularly with notches; said horizontal flaps lock said ribs from opening at the edges of said pallet by intersecting said ribs perpendicularly with notches in said horizontal flaps, and said vertical side walls comprise vertical flaps, each having one end attached to said side walls and an opposite end free, and top and bottom edges cut so said flaps can open inward defining fork passages whereby said vertical flaps engage inner surfaces of one or both of said pallet top and bottom to lock said horizontal flaps from opening.
