Shipping moisture-sensitive office materials Requires protective wrapping. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using double-walled boxes, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments.

You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but it is important to Build the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock the load with edge protectors and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and add 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 confirm that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, limit storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
