Packing, loading and delivery
Arrives perfect. Every panel.
A padel court is steel, glass and turf, packed into a container and shipped across the world. Here is how we make sure every part arrives in the condition it left production.
Short answer
How long does it take to ship a padel court?
Sea transit typically takes 10–15 days within Asia, about 30 days to the Middle East and about 45 days to Europe. Up to four courts fit in one 40 ft container. Prism ships door to door (DAP) or to the port (FOB), prepares the customs documents and tracks the shipment, while the buyer arranges unloading on site.
Meticulous packing
Packed like it matters. Because it does.
The quality of a court starts with how it is packed. Every component is secured and protected for weeks at sea, rough roads and humid ports.
- Steel frame grouped, bundled and strapped so nothing moves or rubs
- Each glass panel wrapped individually and stacked on pallets
- Turf rolls and accessories boxed and palletised for easy handling
- Fragile parts reinforced, everything checked before it ships
Optimised loading
Every centimetre used. Nothing loose.
Shifting cargo causes most transport damage. We load to a plan: sturdy pallets, stable stacking and heavy-duty straps, with as many courts per container as safely fit. That keeps your freight cost per court down.
- Durable wooden or metal pallets
- Stacked for stability and maximum use of space
- Heavy-duty straps and wrapping on the whole load
- Up to 4 courts in one 40 ft container
Global delivery times
How long shipping takes.
Typical transit times by sea once your courts leave production. Other regions are quoted per route.
Transit times are indicative and depend on the port, the shipping line and customs. From signed order to first serve, most projects take 8–12 weeks.
