Shipping Power Tools from Cai Mep to Long Beach via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of Construction materials such as Lighting, Tools, and bulk fasteners, properly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of LED lights on top, and Use corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers will handle them appropriately.

For light fixtures and LED lights, Use Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses do not contact each other.

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.
