Packaging & Shipping
How compression sofas are packed and shipped
Every sofa is pressed flat and boxed in our factory. Each model has a packing sheet that lists every carton, its contents, size, weight and volume — so you can plan containers before you order.
From factory to room
Four steps, one carton plan
The same plan is used on the packing line, in your quotation and at the receiving warehouse.
- 01
Compressed
Upholstered parts are vacuum-pressed flat on the packing line.
- 02
Boxed
Each part goes into a carton sized for the model, numbered by contents.
- 03
Shipped
Cartons are loaded to the container plan agreed in your quotation.
- 04
Unboxed
Opened at the destination, each part recovers to its full shape.

Enter the carton sizes from a packing sheet. The result is a rough volume estimate; the quotation gives the confirmed loading.
Unboxing
What your customer does at home
A short guide you can reuse in product listings and delivery notes.
- 01
Carry the carton in
Open it in the room where the sofa will stand — the packed parts are easiest to move.
- 02
Open with care
Cut the tape only. Keep blades away from the vacuum film and the fabric underneath.
- 03
Release the film
Place each part in position, then open the film so the foam can draw in air.
- 04
Let it recover
Leave it for the recovery time on the packing sheet; a warm room helps.
Freight comparison
Which measurement decides the shipping cost?
Freight planning starts with outer carton dimensions and gross mass. Parcel services may charge by dimensional weight, while a container plan depends on whole cartons fitting through the door and into approved layers. A palletised shipment adds a further measurement at the pallet boundary.
Ask for two comparisons on the same order quantity and route: first the complete cartons and any carrier surcharges, then the cost per sellable unit after handling, damage and locally repairable faults. Use the packing list and the measured loading plan to support any shipping claim on a product page.
After delivery — record before ordering a replacement
- Module code, facing-view position and production lot
- Time since opening and photos at matching landmarks
- Reported symptom, confirmed cause and remedy kept apart

Can cartons carry our brand and shipping marks?
Carton marks, labels and barcodes are agreed in the quotation and printed or labelled before loading.
How is the 40HQ quantity worked out?
From the confirmed carton plan for the configuration you order. The quotation states the container type and the loading conditions behind the number.
Do modular sofas ship in one carton?
Sets with several modules ship in several cartons. The packing sheet lists every carton and its contents, so the set can be checked at your warehouse.
How long can a compressed sofa stay packed?
Ask sales for the storage guidance for the model you order, especially if stock will be held for a long time before sale.
