Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery Requires protective wrapping. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small Office equipment should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Fragile” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but you must Build the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and Stabilize the load with Corner boards 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 Stationery, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends 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 products should be stored in clean, climate-moderated 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 confirm 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.
