When moving mixed loads of building products such as light fixtures, power tools, and bulk Hardware, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Load heavy, dense construction goods at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and Use 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.
For lamps and lighting components, choose heavy-duty cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses do not contact each other. We recommend individually wrapping each item in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Prominently 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.
