Hi, Barbara— A few years ago LAND INFO delivered an order for more than 50,000 paper maps from Colorado to a university library in the Midwest. The maps were strapped on pallets and shipped via a commercial over-the-road trucking company. Geoff Geoffrey A. Forbes, M.S.

We are withdrawing a large number of sheet maps* and need to know how to ship them most cost-effectively to their new home. Can maps be shipped flat in bulk or are tubes the better option? Thanks!
