When Shipping mixed loads of building products such as light fixtures, power tools, and bulk fasteners, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Load heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and apply corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Prominently label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers will handle them appropriately.
