To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, choose higher burst-strength cartons, manage pallet height, and Place edge protectors. Prominently label pallets of Toys with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.
