    Shipping hood insulation, ok to fold?

    Hey guys,

    I'm looking at shipping the one piece fabric hood insulation and I'm just wondering if its ok to fold this material without damaging it?

    Thanks in advance!

    pic of insulation for reference:

    First, ask your buyer if they are okay with potential creases.

    That said, I have been able to fold them, store it, and use it at a later date.

        Rolling it and using a big tube might be better.

            I think the type of person that's ok with getting it folded is the type of person that wouldn't get it in the first place..

                  in a square flat carton honestly....


                  but give him the options, if I was going thru the trouble of ordering one I would want it to be flat once installed, Like I said people that don't mind a crease or a bent are people that would not bother to get one.... you know how picky we get when we want stock parts
