Use Pallets
If you’re shipping LCL (less than container load), palletization is recommended for safe passage of your goods.

Palletization is the act of shrink-wrapping loose cargo on top of pallets to increase the ease of handling, efficiency of loading by forklift and reduced risk of loss or damage in transit.
