A shipping base for elevating the bottom of a load to provide an entry slot for a mechanical lifting device. Cardboard is cut and folded to form a horizontal panel integrally connected to upward-facing rectangular channels along opposing panel edges. Polystyrene shipping pads are inserted in the channels for supporting the weight of an item to be shipped and partially encapsulating the item.

A shipping base for protecting the bottom of a load and elevating said load to provide an entry slot adapted for insertion of projecting prongs from a lifting device, comprising: a rectangular horizontal panel having a first pair of opposing parallel edges and a second pair of opposing parallel edge

A shipping base for protecting the bottom of a load and elevating said load to provide an entry slot adapted for insertion of projecting prongs from a lifting device, comprising: a rectangular horizontal panel having a first pair of opposing parallel edges and a second pair of opposing parallel edges, said first pair of opposing parallel edges being perpendicular to said second pair of opposing parallel edges; a pair of rectangular vertical channels disposed along and integrally connected to said first pair of opposing parallel edges, said entry slot being defined by the space between said channels and below said horizontal panel; each of said channels having an inner rectangular vertical wall attached to said first pair of opposing parallel edges, a bottom wall and an outer rectangular vertical wall, said outer walls being greater in height than the vertical distance between the bottom of said channel and said horizontal panel, said outer walls defining a first pair of upwardly extending rectangular vertical panels; a second pair of upwardly extending rectangular vertical panels integrally connected to said second pair of opposing parallel edges, each of said second vertical panels having a pair of opposing transverse edges contiguous to said first pair of vertical panels, said first and second pair of vertical panels defining an open rectangular enclosure for partially enclosing said load, said panels and said channels being integrally formed from a unitary sheet of cardboard; a quadruplicate of vertical flaps, each of said flaps being integrally attached to one of said opposing transverse edges of said second pair of rectangular vertical panels, said flaps being orthogonally bent from said second pair of panels thereby being adjacently disposed to said first pair of vertical panels, said flaps being integrally formed from said unitary sheet of cardboard; means for attaching said flaps to said first pair of vertical panels thereby forming a rigid shipping base; and a pair of rectangular polymer pads for partially enclosing and protecting said load, each of said pads being positioned in each of said channels for supporting said load.
