Shipping Led Lights from Semarang to Honolulu via Ocean Freight

When transporting mixed loads of construction goods such as light fixtures, hand tools, and bulk fasteners, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of light fixtures on top, and Use corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers Can handle them appropriately.

We recommend Wrapping each fixture in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then Placing them in snug compartments. Clearly 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.
