Storage and handling of children’s goods

What requirements must a warehouse for the toy industry meet?

Storing toys requires not only space, but above all the right storage conditions and organisation. In this sector, what matters most is cleanliness, protection against dust, damp and mechanical damage, as well as the safety of the goods during long-term storage.

At Alfa Warehouses, we provide comprehensive logistics solutions – from receiving imported goods, through warehousing and order fulfilment, to preparing deliveries for retail chains or for export.

Our A+ class warehouse in Gdańsk has been designed with industries in mind where maintaining high standards of cleanliness and safety is essential. The facility is monitored 24/7 and equipped with a WMS system, which allows for full control over every consignment.

What toy industry products do we stock?

At Alfa Warehouses, we handle both goods imported from Asia and products from domestic manufacturers. The items we most commonly store are:

  • children’s toys and accessories,
  • seasonal items (e.g. Christmas, summer),
  • board games and jigsaw puzzles,
  • products packed in master cartons or display boxes,
  • goods requiring picking and labelling.

Every product requires a different approach – that is why we offer dedicated storage areas and flexible solutions tailored to the type and life cycle of the goods (e.g. seasonal storage or distribution via a cross-dock facility).

Example: handling imported toys – from the arrival of the container through to delivery to retail chains

The toys are delivered to our warehouse immediately after being unloaded at the Port of Gdańsk. Thanks to our partnership with the freight forwarding department at Alfa Forwarding, we ensure comprehensive logistics services, comprising:

  • collection of the container from the port terminal,
  • unloading and checking the quantity and quality of the goods,
  • warehousing and batch management in the WMS system,
  • picking and preparing pallets in accordance with the requirements of retail chains,
  • domestic or international transport.

Thanks to integration within the Alfa Group, the customer receives a comprehensive service from the port to the end customer, without having to involve several service providers.
