Shipping Games from Xiaolan to Long Beach via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive sporting goods, select a two-stage approach: inner sealed plastic bag around the product or retail box, then a double-wall box with cushioning. Place moisture absorbers for long-distance or ocean shipments of Sports equipment.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a dry van normally works, but exporters should check door seals and use drying agents. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at Ventilated containers on routes with High humidity.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, select higher burst-strength cartons, control pallet height, and use edge protectors. Prominently label pallets of games with “Do Not Double Stack” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.
