For premium toys with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, Consider additional interior lining on routes with large temperature swings.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy Toys and games, select stronger boxes, manage pallet height, and add vertical supports. Clearly mark pallets of Toys with “No Top Load” where appropriate, and confirm heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.
