Shipping Office Materials from Xiamen to Cartagena via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery demands moisture barriers. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, 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 desktop office equipment should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, build a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and pack 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 stationery and light office equipment, but You should create the pallet carefully. Position 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 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, We recommend adding cargo insurance. It can cover handling damage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.

Stationery should be stored in Dry, temperature-stable 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 verify 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.
