Tips on How to Ship Linen

If you are shipping linens, it is usually easier to use a box. A box is impact-resistant, so it is better for posting. Boxes are usually cost-effective, so using them is a great idea. You can also use a padded envelope, but if you are shipping something that needs to be protected, then a box is preferred.

If you want to deliver lots of linen at the same time you will need to ensure it is properly packaged so that it arrives in one piece after postage. We recommend using a sturdy box or crate and filling the voids with bubble wrap and newspaper, then securely packing the linen in the box. This will help to prevent any damage to your linen during the delivery process. 

If you do not use a sturdy box or crate, we recommend wrapping the linen in bubble wrap and newspaper and then putting it in a strong plastic bag or covering it in a special linen courier bag. The bag should then be placed inside the box and the box filled with bubble wrap and newspaper to prevent movement and damage during transport.

Here’s a quick list of FAQs (and our corresponding responses) when sending linen that we think will help you on your next linen shipment:
