Place heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of light fixtures on top, and add 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.
