When transporting mixed loads of Construction materials such as light fixtures, Tools, and bulk fasteners, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place 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. Clearly label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers Can handle them appropriately.

For light fixtures and LED lights, choose Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. Our team recommends Wrapping each fixture 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.

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