For most Toys and sporting goods, a Standard dry container normally works, but exporters should check door seals and Add Container desiccants. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at Ventilated containers on routes with High humidity.
To reduce stacking damage for Medium-weight Toys and games, select higher burst-strength cartons, control pallet height, and Place Corner posts. Prominently label pallets of games with “Do Not Double Stack” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.
