To reduce stacking damage for Medium-weight sports equipment and leisure products, Use higher burst-strength cartons, Limit pallet height, and Place edge protectors. Prominently label pallets of Toys with “Do Not Double Stack” where appropriate, and make sure heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.
