Lamps are a very delicate item to pack. Where possible, use china barrel moving boxes to transport these items. China barrels have double corrugated material that give your items extra protection.
For the base of the lamp follow these instructions.
Since the base of the lamp won’t fill up the entire moving box, use this opportunity to to fill the box with bed linens and other lighter, soft items.
Read the following instructions on packing your lampshade.
A pro tip: When labeling the box, include what room the lamp is going to. If you’re using a full-service moving company, they will know to pack this box at the top of the pile. If you’re DIY’ing your move, remember to put these boxes into the moving van last and on top.
