Shipping Toys from Navegantes to Colon via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive games, choose a multi-layer approach: inner poly sleeve around the product or retail box, then a reinforced shipping box with padding. Place Desiccant packs for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a general-purpose container is usually adequate, but shippers should confirm door seals and install humidity absorbers. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, Consider additional interior lining on routes with tropical climates.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, choose stronger boxes, manage pallet height, and add vertical supports. Prominently label pallets of Toys with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and make sure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.
