Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery demands moisture barriers. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments.

Small desktop office equipment should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts.

Position 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.

For office equipment, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
