Container planning
How much fabric fits in a container
| Fabric | 20ft container | 40HQ container |
|---|---|---|
| Coated blackout, 300 gsm | About 15,000 m | About 36,000 m |
Fabric fills a container by volume before it reaches the weight limit: a full 20ft of 300 gsm blackout weighs about 12.6 tonnes. Final meterage depends on roll length and packing. For sheer, send your weight and roll length and we calculate the load.
