Small office devices should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift.

You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but you must Build the pallet carefully. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure the load with Corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and apply a top sheet or pallet cover if there is any risk of humidity or light rain during handling.
