Fabric rolls and cartons take up volume, so accurate counts and measurements help determine whether LCL or a full container is more suitable.

Shipping textiles and fabrics.
Textile shipments range from fabric rolls for production to finished garments for retail. Volume, packing, and shipment frequency usually matter more than weight, and many textile businesses import on a recurring schedule.
What matters for this industry
Recurring supply
Production-supply shipments often repeat. Planning a regular schedule makes each shipment easier to coordinate.
Product description
Fabric composition and product descriptions should be consistent across the commercial documents.
