Packing list:

Palletizing Guide:

1) Pallet must be paper pallet or wooden pallet with IPPC marked. Always ensure the pallet is designed to carry the weight  of goods being shipped.

2) Stack boxes squarely on the pallet, corner to corner with no overhang on any side.

3) Avoid pyramid stacking which makes boxes more susceptible to damage from  other shipments. The method is also subject to a surcharge due to the wasted space it creates when loading.

                                Overhang Stack                                    Pyramid Stack

4) Distribute weight evenly on the pallet to avoid excess pressure being placed on box contents. For heavier shipments, T-stack loading is recommended. Column stack should only be used if T-stack pallet can not be achieved.

5) Vertical edge protectors not only reduce damage to box edges during transport but also help to stabilize the load.

6) Top wooden plank is required for sea and train shipment with even top pallet.
