Many are constructed [[corrugated fiberboard]] or a thick solid fiber sheet.  They are typically the size of a [[pallet]] or of the load to go on a pallet.  One or more sides has a lip which extends from the load to allow grasping by a special push-pull attachment on a modified [[fork truck]].  

Plastic slip sheets can be made of [[corrugated plastic]] or a molded shape.  Sometimes the lip on the slipsheet can extend on all sides resembling a tray or shallow basket. These slip sheets are well suited to a returnable and reusable closed-loop system,
