BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a paper pallet for packaging, more particularly to a load bearing base constructed by a plurality of supporting components formed by a single folded corrugated board, and a packaging protective frame being inlaid on the edge around the load bearing base, which forms a packaging box for delivering goods.

2. Description of the Related Art

When goods are sold, a packing box will be installed thereon, which can protect the surface of the goods from collision and damage. A traditional packing box structure for goods delivery uses Styrofoam as the bottom plate. Since Styrofoam is light, strong and cheap, it has been widely used for the packing box.

However, Styrofoam structure is difficult to decompose in nature, and easily produces harmful gases when burning it, which causes immense damage to the environment. If Styrofoam is not restricted or banned, a worldwide environmental crisis will be caused.

Thus, Styrofoam is politically forbidden in all countries in the world. Consequently, it is necessary to change the load bearing structure of the packing box. Currently most bearing structures are made of wood or metal frames, which are solid and able to load heavy objects onto, but their weight is too heavy and thus they weigh too much which affects the transportation and the cost thereof. Moreover, the wood or metal frames are difficult to recycle, production costs therefore remain high, and their disposal is still a major environmental issue.

Therefore, a paper pallet structure becomes a popular modern packing box structure and promotes the rapid development of paper pallets. The paper pallet structure in prior art includes paper boards with a horizontal and vertical interlaced arrangement. The horizontal and vertical paper boards are combined at lots of intersections to form a load bearer with a net shape and to provide sufficient bearing capability.

However, the paper pallet structure in prior art can only be used for stacking and moving goods, and has no special packing box structure designed for delivering goods and does not meet the requirements of being multi-functional. Therefore, the paper pallet in prior art still has lots shortcomings which need to be improved upon.

BRIEF SUMMARY

In view of the drawbacks derived from the conventional packing box, the inventor has tried hard to improve and innovate. After years of painstaking research, a new paper pallet for packaging is proposed in the present invention so as to solve the above-mentioned problems. The present invention is described below.

An object of the present invention is to provide a paper pallet for packaging, which uses a paper pallet as the load bearing base for the packing of goods, thus replacing the Styrofoam board, wood and metal frame in order to have an environmentally friendly effect and reduce the cost of using.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a paper pallet for packaging, which allows for protective packaging material to gain better protective capability for transportation.

Another additional object of the present invention is to provide a paper pallet for packaging, which uses the supporting components formed by a single folded corrugated board to form a load bearing base. A packaging protective frame is inlaid at a set distance from the edge around the load bearing base to form a paper pallet for packaging and delivering goods.

The paper pallet for packaging that can be achieved in the above mentioned purpose, includes a load bearing base and a packaging protective frame, wherein the load bearing base has a plurality of vertical supporting components and a plurality of horizontal supporting components, which are formed by a single folded corrugated cardboard, wherein the vertical supporting components and the horizontal supporting components are arranged in a net grid layout to form at least one intersection point. At the intersection point(s), a plurality of first grooves are set on the vertical supporting components which are relative to the plurality of second grooves set on the horizontal supporting components. Thus the vertical supporting components are inlaid on the horizontal supporting components, which form a load bearing base through the intersection and subsequent interlocking of these first and second grooves. The packaging protective frame is inlaid at a set distance from the edge of the load bearing base, which has a plurality of side plates arranged in a box-shape and assembled at a set distance from the edge of the load bearing base, where the plurality of side plates set a plurality of third grooves at a third intersection point for inlaying on each other so as to form the packaging protective frame, which sets a plurality of fourth grooves at a fourth intersection point for inlaying on the edge of the load bearing base to form the paper pallet for packaging.

The protective packaging material is placed between the packaging protective frame and the cargo to fill the gap between them and strengthen the protection for the cargo. The paper pallet for packaging formed by combining the packaging protective frame with the load bearing base becomes the packing box for packing large cargo when delivering. The paper pallet for packaging also has the advantages of a low manufacturing cost, light weight, no pests, etc., and can be fully recycled and is environmentally friendly.

Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Please refer toFIGS. 1 and 5, showing a paper pallet for packaging provided by the present invention, which combines the traditional paper pallet with a packaging protective frame102and becomes a load bearing base for packaging the goods, so as to carry the goods being sold.
