Shipping Clothing from Norfolk to Baltimore via Ground Freight

For moisture-sensitive Clothing & apparel, Use an inner sealed liner for each unit or bundle, then place items in quality shipping boxes. Add Desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments, and ensure cartons are fully closed and taped to keep out humidity and splashes.

Most Textiles can move in Standard dry containers or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are shielded from water. For bulk textiles, We recommend palletized or racked loading to prevent edge damage, and in humid lanes, adding Container desiccants is advisable.
