Shipping Fasteners from Xiamen to La Guaira via Ocean Freight

When moving mixed loads of construction goods such as Lighting, power tools, and bulk fasteners, properly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Place heavy, dense construction goods 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 do handle them appropriately.

For lamps and light fittings, Use heavy-duty cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. DNA recommends Wrapping each fixture in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then positioning them in snug compartments. Clearly mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy Construction materials on the same pallet.
