Layered Protection
- Breathable inner wraps reduce condensation on surfaces.
- Foam or bubble mid-layers absorb vibration and minor impacts.
- Rigid outer shells (double-wall boxes or crates) resist compression.
Moisture and Condensation
- Use silica gel and humidity indicator cards for tech and art.
- Keep natural materials in breathable covers, not sealed plastic.
- Allow 12–24 hours acclimatization before powering electronics.
Labeling and Access
Adopt a zone-date-box code and keep essentials accessible for quick indoor placement during cold arrivals and port handoffs.
Route-Aware Crating
- Corner posts, strap bands, and waterproof skid barriers for ferries.
- Tarp against spray and snow; verify tie-down compatibility.
- Confirm schedules and carry backup sailing dates.
