Place heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of light fixtures on top, and apply 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 will handle them appropriately.
