1. A pallet system comprising:
(I) a first cardboard sheet having a first sheet thickness measurement, the first cardboard sheet including
(A) a first sheet side,
(B) a second sheet side extending perpendicularly to the first side,
(C) a third sheet side extending parallel to the first side,
(D) a fourth sheet side extending parallel to the second side, and
(E) a plurality of demarcated bend lines extending parallel to the first sheet side and to the third sheet side,
wherein each of the plurality of demarcated bend lines extends between the second sheet side and the fourth sheet side,
wherein the plurality of demarcated bend lines includes a first demarcated bend line, a second demarcated bend line, a third demarcated bend line, a fourth demarcated bend line, a fifth demarcated bend line, a sixth demarcated bend line, and a seventh demarcated bend line,
wherein the first demarcated bend line is closest of the plurality of demarcated bend lines to the third sheet side and is at least ten times the first sheet thickness measurement from the third sheet side,
wherein the second demarcated bend line is second closest of the plurality of demarcated bend lines to the third sheet side and is less than three times the first sheet thickness measurement from the first demarcated bend line;
wherein the third demarcated bend line is third closest of the plurality of demarcated bend lines to the third sheet side and is at least twenty-five times the first sheet thickness measurement from the third sheet side,
wherein the fourth demarcated bend line is fourth closest of the plurality of demarcated bend lines to the third sheet side being less than five times the first sheet thickness measurement from the third demarcated bend line and being farther from the third demarcated bend line than the second demarcated bend line is from the first demarcated bend line,
wherein the first cardboard sheet is bent at each of the plurality of demarcated bend lines thereby forming a plurality of cardboard sheet segment portions positioned parallel with one another including a first cardboard sheet segment portion bordered by the third sheet side and bordered by the first demarcated bend line,
a second cardboard sheet segment portion bordered by the second demarcated bend line and the third demarcated bend line,
a third cardboard sheet segment portion bordered by the fourth demarcated bend line and bordered by the fifth demarcated bend line,
a fourth cardboard sheet segment portion bordered by the sixth demarcated bend line and bordered by the seventh demarcated bend line,
whereby the first cardboard sheet is bent such that the first cardboard sheet segment portion is adhesively coupled and positioned adjacent to the second cardboard sheet segment portion with adhesive positioned between the first cardboard sheet segment portion and the second cardboard sheet segment portion,
whereby the first cardboard sheet is bent such that the first cardboard sheet segment portion is adhesively coupled with and positioned adjacent to the third cardboard sheet segment portion with adhesive positioned between the first cardboard sheet segment portion and the third cardboard sheet segment portion,
whereby the first cardboard sheet is bent such that the second cardboard sheet segment portion is adhesively coupled with and positioned adjacent to the fourth cardboard sheet segment portion with adhesive positioned between the second cardboard sheet segment portion and the fourth cardboard sheet segment portion, and
whereby the first cardboard sheet is bent such that cardboard sheet segment portions form a spiral configuration having an innermost central portion to include the first cardboard segment portion and the second cardboard segment portion.
