A collapsible pallet provides for easy storing and shipping, the collapsible pallet comprising a bottom plate mechanically coupled to a pair of side plates with a pair of offset hinges. The side plates are further mechanically coupled to a pair of upper plates by a pair of upper piano hinges. The upper plates are further mechanically coupled to a pair of inner support plates by a pair of inner support piano hinges. A pair of stopper strips that are mechanically coupled to the bottom plate restricts the movement of the inner support plates. In this manner, a user can rotate the side plates and inner support plates parallel to the upper plates and the lower plate causing a collapsed configuration that provides for easy storage and shipping.

A collapsible pallet provides for easy storing and shipping, the collapsible pallet comprising, a bottom plate mechanically coupled to a left side plate by a left offset hinge;wherein the bottom plate further comprises, at least, a top face, a bottom face, a first side edge and a second side edge
1. A collapsible pallet provides for easy storing and shipping, the collapsible pallet comprising, a bottom plate mechanically coupled to a left side plate by a left offset hinge;wherein the bottom plate further comprises, at least, a top face, a bottom face, a first side edge and a second side edge;wherein the left side plate further comprises a left side plate left face, a left side plate right face and a left side plate first side edge;the left offset hinge further comprises: a left offset hinge bottom face, perpendicularly attached to a left offset hinge bottom offset segment;a left offset hinge top face, perpendicularly attached to a left offset hinge top offset segment;a pin, joining the left offset hinge bottom offset segment with the left offset hinge top offset segmentwherein the left offset hinge bottom face is attached to the bottom face, the left offset hinge bottom offset segment is against the first side edge and under the pin,wherein the left offset hinge top face is attached to the left side plate right face; the left offset hinge bottom offset segment is against the left side plate first side edge and above the pin;wherein folding the left offset hinge top offset segment onto the top face transfers weight of the left side plate onto the bottom plate in order to increase stability the weight is not born by the pin;wherein the left side plate is further mechanically coupled to a left upper plate by a left outer piano hinge; the left upper plate is mechanically coupled to a left inner support plate by a left inner piano hinge; movement of the left inner support plate is restricted by a left stopper strip, which is mechanically coupled to the bottom plate;the bottom plate is mechanically coupled to a right side plate by a right offset hinge;wherein the right side plate further comprises a right side plate left face, a right side plate right face and a right side plate first side edge;the right offset hinge further comprises: a right offset hinge bottom face, perpendicularly attached to a right offset hinge bottom offset segment;a right offset hinge top face, perpendicularly attached to a right offset hinge top offset segment;a pin, joining the right offset hinge bottom offset segment with the right offset hinge top offset segmentwherein the right offset hinge bottom face is attached to the bottom face, the right offset hinge bottom offset segment is against the first side edge and under the pin,wherein the right offset hinge top face is attached to the right side plate right face; the right offset hinge bottom offset segment is against the right side plate first side edge and above the pin;wherein folding the right offset hinge top offset segment onto the top face transfers weight of the right side plate onto the bottom plate in order to increase stability the weight is not born by the pin;wherein the right side plate is further mechanically coupled to a right upper plate by a right outer piano hinge; the right upper plate is mechanically coupled to a right inner support plate by a right inner piano hinge; movement of the right inner support plate is restricted by a right stopper strip, which is mechanically coupled to the bottom plate;in this manner, a user can rotate the left side plate parallel to the left upper plate and the bottom plate; at the same time, the left inner support plate can be folded parallel to the left upper plate and the bottom plate with the left inner piano hinge; likewise, the user can rotate the right side plate parallel to the right upper plate and the bottom plate; at the same time, the right inner support plate can be folded parallel to the right upper plate and the bottom plate with the right inner piano hinge, causing a collapsed configuration which provides for easy storage and shipping. 2. The collapsible pallet of claim 1, the left offset hinge comprises a first parallel surface mechanically coupled to a first perpendicular surface; the first perpendicular surface is mechanically coupled to a rod; the rod mechanically couples the first perpendicular surface with a second parallel surface; the second parallel surface is mechanically coupled to a second perpendicular surface; in this manner, the user can mechanically couple the first parallel surface to the bottom plate and the second perpendicular surface to the left side plate. 3. The collapsible pallet of claim 1, the left upper plate, the right upper plate, the left side plate and the right side plate further comprise a plurality of cavities that provide positioning for easy net and strap attachment to ship a wide variety of goods. 4. The collapsible pallet of claim 1, further comprising: a first notch on the bottom plate configured to receive the right offset hinge top offset segment. 5. The collapsible pallet of claim 4, further comprising: a second notch on the bottom plate configured to receive the left offset hinge top offset segment.
