Packing and Freight
Carpet ocean shipping packaging checklist for DTC and trade rug shipments.
Packing protects margin after the product leaves the factory.
Rugs can look fine at final inspection and still arrive with creases, moisture damage, crushed cartons, label errors, or warehouse handling problems.
Roll direction and protection
Confirm face-in or face-out roll direction, inner tube, edge protection, outer wrap, and whether folding is allowed for the target channel.
Moisture and carton strength
Ask how the supplier controls moisture before packing, whether desiccant is needed, and whether carton grade matches container stacking risk.
Labels and loading
Check barcode placement, carton marks, pallet plan, container loading photos, gross weight, carton dimensions, and warehouse receiving requirements.
