Bulk Cotton
Bulk Cotton Freight
About this Product
Bulk Cotton requires careful shipping to maintain its integrity. It should be transported in dry, ventilated environments to prevent dust and moisture damage. Proper packaging with protective padding and corner protectors is essential to minimize fiber displacement during transit. Stacking practices must be optimized to avoid compression, and loading docks should be equipped with levelers for safe handling. These measures ensure the material remains undamaged and ready for distribution.
