Shipping Lamps from Surabaya to Yantian via Ocean Freight

When Shipping mixed loads of Construction materials such as Lighting, Tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly 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. Clearly label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers will handle them appropriately.

For Lighting and LED lights, Use Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses Do not touch each other. Our team 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.

For export, evaluate container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.

High-value Tools and branded Hardware Often justify All-risk cargo insurance, especially when combined with fragile Lighting. Our specialists recommend obtaining coverage for shipments at full replacement value and Keeping serial numbers or SKU lists for premium Power tools. This documentation strengthens claim outcomes if cartons are lost, pilfered, or water-damaged.
