How Do You Prepare Carpets for LTL Shipping?
Before you do anything else, clean the rug thoroughly. Once the carpet is clean, follow these steps.
- Cover the pile of the rug with a sheet of acid-free paper. Allow the paper to extend two feet beyond the width on one side.
- Fold the ends of the rug in so that the length is reduced to 1/3 the original length.
- Tightly roll the rug so that the extra paper is available to you once you’ve completed the roll.
- Wrap the extra paper around the rug and tie the roll with twine.
- Add cotton padding on the ends and tape the cotton padding to the paper with painter’s tape.
- Place the rug in a box
- Secure the box to a pallet with bands.
If your rug is small and light enough to ship as a parcel, follow the first six steps above.
