Shipping Games from Colombo to Altamira via Ocean Freight

When dealing with moisture-sensitive games, select a multi-layer approach: inner sealed plastic bag around the product or retail box, then a double-wall box with padding. Place moisture absorbers for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a general-purpose container normally works, but shippers should check door seals and use humidity absorbers. For collector leisure products 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, select stronger boxes, control pallet height, and use vertical supports. Prominently label pallets of games with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and make sure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.
