A pallet includes a number of runners which may be sandwiched between upper and lower face sheets of corrugated paperboard. Each runner is comprised of multiple layers of corrugated paperboard with the flutes of the corrugations oriented vertically to provide compression strength to the runners and the associated pallet. Each runner also may include at least one reinforcing insert most preferably of hardboard to provide beam strength to the runner and a band to avoid failure without a prior indication. Moreover, the system and method for manufacturing the runners with reinforcing inserts overcomes problems of delaminating and separation of the adhesively bonded layers of the runner.
