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.
