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 Use a top sheet or pallet cover if there is any risk of humidity or light rain during handling.

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.
