Shipping Led Lights from Surabaya to Paranagua via Ocean Freight

When moving mixed loads of construction goods such as lamps, power tools, and bulk fasteners, Separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Stack heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and add 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.
