PACKING GUIDE

How to pack fabrics and textile for shipping

Even though textile materials are not considered as fragile goods, they still need to be protected from damage, moisture and sunlight during transportation. Follow our guide on how to pack fabrics and other textile products for shipping.

  1. Roll or fold your fabrics carefully.
  2. Place your goods in self-seal bags or Ziploc bags. Seal the bag properly.
  3. Nest the packages into a shipping box and seal it.

How to prepare fabrics and textile for shipping on a pallet

For businesses importing or exporting fabrics and textiles in bulk, we suggest following the packaging steps below:

  1. Place some liner paper on the pallet and place the boxes containing the textile and fabrics on it.
  2. Add liner paper between each layer you stack, to decrease friction and spread the weight evenly.
  3. Fix the shipment to the pallet with straps and secure it with stretch foil or bubble wrap.

MORE INFORMATION

FAQs on shipping of fabrics and textile across Europe or abroad

Does shipping for import-export of textiles and fabrics require extra procedures?
Many distributors and manufacturers import fabrics and textiles from abroad. As these are not considered restricted or forbidden items, there are no special requirements for booking shipping services when importing/exporting fabrics. Have in mind, however, that as any other imported item, your goods will have to go under customs clearance.
What is the most suited service to deliver a roll of fabric?
The parcel dimensions and weight influence the shipping service you should choose. Usually, the width of fabrics is standardised and measured between 112cm and 140cm. The fabric used in decorating (e.g., as upholstery for furniture or as curtains) may come in widths as great as 150cm. Both these lengths can normally fit on our standard service. However, when shipping fabrics in bigger quantities or in bulk, the instant pallet or LTL & FTL services may be more suited for you.
How to ship fabrics and textiles to keep them from wrinkling?
When shipping fabrics and textile, one of the most important things is to preserve them in good condition and prevent wrinkles. Thus, it is recommended rolling the fabrics in cardboard tubes. Make sure the cardboard tubes or the PVC pipes are clean before using them. After that, you can also wrap the entire roll of fabric in clear plastic and secure with tape. Make sure to provide extra plastic on both ends and stuff the excess wrap inside the hole of the tube.
Is there any insurance when importing or exporting fabrics? Can I receive compensation if anything goes wrong during transportation?
Depending on the selected shipping service and the type of goods you transport, shipping insurance may be included in the price of the service. For extra protection, we also offer additional insurance options with higher coverage at very low rates. Companies that ship fabrics and textile as freight internationally, also benefit from the CMR insurance.
