Shipping Office Supplies from Antwerp to Laem Chabang via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive office materials demands protective wrapping. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.

Small office devices should ideally be shipped in the factory packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, build a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in protective padding, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Handle With Care” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but it is important to create the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock the load with edge protectors and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and Use a top sheet or pallet cover if there is any risk of humidity or light rain during handling.

For small parcel shipments of low-value office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, most logistics experts recommend Purchasing cargo insurance. It can cover loss and breakage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.

Office materials should be stored in cool, dry areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Store pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and confirm that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, limit storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.

Office supplies should be securely packaged to prevent damage during ocean freight. Items like stationery and office equipment may require additional cushioning and moisture protection due to the long transit over water.
