For High-value board games with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at additional interior lining on routes with tropical climates.

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