Base sheets are normally made flat, but for large custom-made pallets the base sheets can be made centre-folded. They are commonly used to cover the base of the pallet before goods are stacked on it, to protect from scuffing or water splashing from underneath. When used with a heat shrink cover the two will fuse together to fully encapsulate the pallet load.
