The present invention is a force resisting assembly, and can be
constructed into a pallet or dunnage support made from paperboard that
minimizes adverse environmental impact, occupies little space before it
is configured, and effectively saves production, storage and
transportation costs. The present paperboard assembly can be shipped and
stored as either one or more die-cut and scored paperboard pieces,
thereby eliminating excess volume, with the pieces being readily
interconnectable to form a complete pallet or dunnage support assembly.
Preferably, the paperboard of the present invention further has a low
moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), excellent glueability and
recyclability.
