Secondary Packaging:

- Use dividers if multiple units are packed together to avoid direct contact.
Palletization:
- Stack the cartons on wooden or plastic pallets.
- Secure the cartons with stretch wrap and strapping to prevent shifting during handling and shipping.
Labeling:

Waterproofing:
- Cover pallets with waterproof plastic sheeting to safeguard against moisture or water damage during transit.
