Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock 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.

It can cover loss and breakage 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 cool, dry areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture.
