If you have access to any abandoned pallets, keep them. Sometimes you can get cheaper transport rate per unit carton if you pack your goods on pallet. For example, a normally goods in pallet form (4' x 4' x 4') to Penang may cost roughly RM80 per pallet. Say, one loose carton to Penang costs about RM7.00, if you can stack your goods more than 12 cartons, you already can save some money. The more goods you can stack on the pallet within the size of 4' x 4' x 4', the more you can save. So do your math before you do your packaging.
Goods on pallet form cuts down a lot of handling time and labour in loading work because it's all done by forklift, that's why the transport rate is cheaper compares to the same amount of goods put into loose form.
So, all you need to invest is one roll of stretch film, which only costs about RM15.00 per roll from hardware store. Stack all your products on pallet and wrap it with stretch film.
