Shipping Fashion Products from Laem Chabang to Shanghai via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, choose an inner plastic sleeve for each unit or bundle, then place items in double-wall boxes. Add silica gel for longer or ocean shipments, and ensure cartons are securely sealed to keep out humidity and splashes.

Most clothing can move in dry vans or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are protected from moisture. For Fabric rolls, our team suggests palletized or racked loading to prevent edge damage, and in humid lanes, adding moisture-control liners is advisable.

High-value designer clothing benefit from reduced touchpoints, barcoded labels, and use of cages to avoid snagging. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid rough surfaces, and not to crush lightweight Clothing cartons.
