Packing Chandeliers, Light fittings and Lamps

Prepare your packing area around waist height to avoid stretching and risk of injury to your back.

Make up your first carton and fold the tops over, then make up another carton and sit this on top of the first.  This will allow you to place items in the box without over stretching.  Once full replace the empty bottom carton with the packed carton and start again.

Loose pieces, pendants should be removed and wrapped separately in paper, tissue or bubble wrap.

Bulbs should be removed and wrapped separately (ensure the bulb has been switched off prior to removal to avoid burning your fingers)

Fill the base of your carton with Scrunched paper, tissue or Flo Chip (polystyrene pieces)

Place the light gently in to the carton and fill the space around it to prevent movement

The best way to pack and transport a Chandelier is to have it hanging from a secured baton from the top of the carton 

When packing Lamps it is best to remove all shades and pack seperately

Make sure your hands are clean as Lamp shades can be easily marked

Handle the shades by holding the frames

Wrap the shades individually and then place them into one another within the carton

Fill any gaps with scrunched paper, tissue or bubble wrap

Seal the carton and label as Fragile
