A pallet includes a number of runners which are 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 includes at least one reinforcing insert most preferably of hardboard to provide beam strength to the runner. As a result, the pallet has significantly greater strength and resistence to crushing or compression than known paperboard pallet designs, avoids the significant ecological and economic drawbacks of wooden pallets and can be processed in a paperboard recycling station along with paperboard containers, boxes or the like.
