Actually, for garment or textile, after carton packaging and container loading, the transportation may lasts 2 months, over thousands of kilometers, via land and sea, until to the destination.
The trip goes through different geographic location, different climates. The alternation of day and night brings strong temperature and humidity changes. As a result, the goods gets affected by mould, and related accessories become rusty.
