A shipping container system and method of construction therefor are provided which includes a container with an integrated pallet assembly. The system includes an inner shell, an outer shell, a cover assembly, and a pallet assembly. The outer shell is formed from a single sheet of material, preferably high strength cardboard and is cut and bent such that four panels are created, each having a flap. The outer shell also has several holes located in the panels. The inner shell is formed in a similar manner, also having four panels, each with a flap. The pallet assembly includes a floor panel supported by several runners having notches. To assemble the shipping container system, the inner shell is placed within the upper portion of the outer shell and the pallet assembly is inserted into the lower portion of the outer shell. The outer shell panel flaps are then folded to provide support for the pallet assembly from underneath. The panel flaps of the inner shell are folded within the inner shell to provide support for the pallet assembly from above. So assembled, the pallet assembly is securely positioned between the flaps of the outer shell and the flaps of the inner shell. The system further includes that the holes in the outer shell panels align with the notches of the pallet assembly runners to allow the tines of a forklift or jack truck to engage the shipping container system.
