When placing bulk orders of wholesale arcade machines, proper container loading planning directly controls logistics cost and prevents damage during sea freight. Many first-time arcade importers underestimate cabinet dimensions and weight, leading to wasted container space.
Before production, ask your supplier for exact product dimensions, gross weight and wooden crate packing specs. Redemption games, claw machines and racing simulators have different sizes, so mixed container loading needs careful layout calculation.
Export wooden packing must comply with IPPC fumigation requirements to avoid customs rejection. The supplier should secure cabinets with foam padding and steel straps to protect screens, joysticks and glass panels during transit.
Keep a detailed packing list with model quantities and serial numbers. This document speeds up customs clearance and helps your local team inspect goods once the container arrives at destination port. Always reserve extra space for spare parts kits inside each FCL shipment.
