Garments on Hangers vs Flat Pack: Which Ships Better?

For fashion exporters, how you pack changes cost, presentation, and how fast goods reach the shop floor.

For a fashion exporter, the choice between shipping garments on hangers and flat-packed in cartons is not just about space. It changes cost, presentation, and how fast goods reach the shop floor.

Garments on hangers

GOH shipping keeps garments pressed and retail-ready, so they move from container to rail with little handling. It uses more container space, so the freight cost per unit is higher.

Flat pack

Flat-packed cartons fit far more units per container, lowering freight cost, but the buyer must unpack, press, and hang before the goods reach the floor.

How to choose

• High-value or delicate garments often justify GOH.
• High-volume basics usually favour flat pack.
• Ask your buyer how they receive goods; it often decides for you.

KWT's bonded CFS handles both, with sorting by purchase order and style either way.
