Shipping Office Equipment from New Orleans to Montreal via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive office materials demands Sealed inner protection. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using rigid cartons, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.

Small Office equipment should ideally be shipped in the factory packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, build a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Fragile” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.

You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but it is important to create 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.

For small parcel shipments of low-value Stationery, 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.

Office products should be stored in cool, dry areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Store 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, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
