Measuring and labelling rugs by destination room
A rug's dimensions and destination room affect transport and placement. Give similar rugs separate codes to keep their identities clear.
Before you start
Measure rugs and photograph stains or wear. Check cleaning and rolling methods against the material's care guidance, and do not pack them damp.
Practical steps
- Mark the room and dimensions on the wrapping.
- Protect fringes and edges without trapping them.
- Share the packed length of large rugs alongside lift and vehicle-access details.
Checks on arrival
Compare labels with the room plan on delivery. Record any damp or compressed packaging and follow suitable care instructions when unpacking.
What to include in your quote request
Add the quantity, approximate dimensions and preparation status to your inventory. Include the floor, lift and vehicle access at both addresses. Photos help with the initial assessment. Confirm responsibility for packing, dismantling and reassembly in the written quote.
