at least first and second rectangular sheet products configured to form a rectangular enclosure, each comprising first and second fold lines configured to produce a panel having first, second, and third rectangular wall sections, wherein the first and second rectangular sheet products upon assembly each have a cross-section of a general “C”-shape, wherein the first and second rectangular sheet products collectively define a main opening of the rectangular enclosure;
a third rectangular sheet product, comprising first and second fold lines configured to produce a panel having first, second, and third rectangular wall sections, wherein the third rectangular sheet product upon assembly has a cross-section of a general “C”-shape, wherein a length of the first and third wall sections of the third rectangular sheet product is less than the corresponding wall section of the first and second rectangular sheet products, wherein the third rectangular sheet product divides the main opening into at least first and second openings, with the first and third wall sections being placed parallel to the corresponding wall sections of the first and second rectangular sheet products; and
a lid configured to close the rectangular enclosure, the lid having a downwardly depending lip about its perimeter and channels operable to engage with upstanding edges of at least one of the first, second, and third rectangular sheet products, to define an upright rectangular quadrangle arrangement operable to surround two or more pallets and any load carried thereon, the lid including first and second parts separable along a lengthwise edge of the first and second parts.
