When transporting mixed loads of building products such as light fixtures, Tools, and bulk Hardware, clearly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Load heavy, dense construction goods 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 do handle them appropriately.
For light fixtures and lighting components, choose 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 positioning them in snug compartments. Mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy building supplies on the same pallet.
Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical Lighting Should be Wrapped with poly wrap and, where feasible, paired with desiccant packs.

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