When Shipping mixed loads of building products such as light fixtures, Tools, and bulk Hardware, properly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Load heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of LED lights 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 do handle them appropriately.

DNA recommends individually wrapping each item in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then Placing them in snug compartments. Mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy building supplies on the same pallet.
