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.

Hi folks,
I need your expertise once more. 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!
Barbara
* ca. 60 full drawers; maps ca. 36” x 36” or larger
