We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using rigid cartons, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always select 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.
