Shipping Toys from Penang to Seattle via Ocean Freight

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, select higher burst-strength cartons, manage pallet height, and use vertical supports. Prominently label pallets of games with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.
