A pallet (1) comprising a basic body (10) comprising at least the following components:

• a first panel (11) and a second panel (12) arranged parallel to the first panel (11), wherein the first panel (1) and the second panel (12) each extend in the direction of a pallet width (BP) and a pallet depth (TP), wherein the pallet (1) comprises a pallet height (HP) perpendicular to the pallet width (BP) and the pallet depth (TP),
• a layer (13) arranged between the first panel (11) and the second panel (12), the layer (13) comprising a plurality of tube segments (14), wherein the tube segments (14) each comprise two cut ends (141, 142) which delimit the tube segments (14) in the circumferential direction, and wherein the tube segments (14) each comprise a segment depth (t), a segment width (b) and a segment height (h), the segment depth (t) corresponding to the maximum extension of the tube segment (14) in the longitudinal extension direction (I), the segment width (b) corresponding to the maximum extension of the tube segment (14) along a connecting line between the cut ends (141, 142) perpendicularly to the longitudinal extension direction (I), and the segment height (h) corresponding to the maximum extension perpendicular to the segment depth (t) and the segment width (b),
• and wherein the tube segments (14) are arranged in the layer (13) such that
• the segment depth (t) runs in the direction of the pallet height (HP),
• the segment width (b) runs in the direction of the pallet width (BP), and
• the segment height (h) runs in the direction of the pallet depth (TP), characterized in that
• the layer (13) comprises at least one cutout (131) which is continuous in the direction of the pallet height (HP), wherein the first panel (11) comprises at least one first opening (111) which at least partially overlaps with the at least one cutout (131),
• and wherein the tube segments (14) comprise a wood composite or are formed of a wood composite,
• and wherein the pallet (1) further comprises at least one runner (17) mechanically connected to the basic body (10), the runner (17) comprising a bottom board (171) arranged parallel to the first panel (11) and at least one block (172) mechanically connected to the bottom board (171), wherein the at least one block (172) is arranged at least partially in the at least one cutout (131).

A sandwich block (2) comprising a block width (BB), a block depth (TB) extending perpendicularly to the block width (BB) and a block height (HB) extending perpendicularly to the block width (BB) and the block depth (TB), and wherein the sandwich block (2) comprises at least one ply (20) extending in the direction of the block width (BB), the plies (20) each comprising a plurality of tube segments (14), the tube segments (14) each comprising two cut ends (141, 142) which delimit the tube segments (14) in the circumferential direction, and wherein the tube segments (14) comprise

• a segment depth (t) in the longitudinal extension direction (I) of the respective tube segment (14),
• a segment width (b) along a connecting line between the cut ends (141,142) perpendicular to the longitudinal extension direction (I) and
• a segment height (h) perpendicular to the segment depth (t) and the segment width (b),
• and wherein the tube segments (14) are arranged in the plies (20) such that the segment depth (t) of the tube segments (14) extends in the direction of the block depth (TB) and the segment width (b) extends along the block width (BB),
• characterized in that
• the sandwich block (2) comprises at least one through hole (21) which is continuous in the direction of the block depth (TB).
