Leather and footwear businesses move stock between factories, warehouses and shops all the time. The main risks are moisture, crushing and stains, and all three are avoidable.
Keep stock dry and clean
- Wrap leather rolls in plastic sheet and keep them off the truck floor.
- Choose a covered vehicle or container, especially in the monsoon season.
- Never load leather next to oily, wet or strongly scented goods.
Load for shape, not just space
Shoe cartons stack best in even columns with the heaviest cartons at the bottom. Rolls should lie flat, or stand upright and strapped, never leaning. Handbags and finished goods keep their shape better in firm cartons with paper stuffing.
Plan the route and the unloading
Label every carton by size and style so the receiving team can count and sort quickly, and share the delivery window with the driver in advance. Exo Packers and Movers handles city and intercity loads with trained loaders, so your stock arrives in the same condition it left.
