Shipping Building Materials from Bangkok to Taipei via Ocean Freight

When Shipping mixed loads of Construction materials such as Lighting, hand tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and Use corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Clearly label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers Can handle them appropriately.

For Lighting and LED lights, Use reinforced boxes with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses Do not touch each other. Our team recommends individually protecting each unit in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Prominently mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy Construction materials on the same pallet.

For export, Consider container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value Tools and branded Hardware Often justify enhanced cargo coverage, especially when combined with fragile Lighting. Our specialists recommend covering shipments at full replacement value and maintaining serial numbers or SKU lists for premium hand tools.
