When Shipping mixed loads of building products such as lamps, Tools, and bulk Hardware, properly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of LED lights on top, and Use corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load.

For Lighting and lighting components, pack in Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses Do not touch each other. DNA recommends individually protecting each unit in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy Construction materials on the same pallet.
Moisture-sensitive Construction materials such as cement-based goods, metal Hardware, and electrical LED lights Should be Wrapped with moisture-barrier film and, where feasible, supplemented by desiccant packs. Select enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and Avoid long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, Consider container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.
