Shipping Stationery from Izmir to Istanbul via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive office materials Requires Sealed inner protection. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always select enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.

Small desktop office equipment should ideally be shipped in the factory packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Delicate Equipment” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of stationery and light office equipment, but it is important to Build the pallet carefully. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and Stabilize 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 Moisture damage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.

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

Office supplies should be packed securely to prevent damage during transit, as ocean freight can expose items to moisture and vibrations. Use waterproof packaging materials and ensure that items are cushioned to avoid breakage.

Shipping office supplies within Turkey requires a bill of lading, packing list, and any necessary commercial invoices. Customs documentation is not required for domestic shipments, but proper records should be maintained for inventory and compliance purposes.
