How To Pack Lamps For Moving

How To Pack Lamps For Moving
​Lamps are often overlooked when packing for a move, but they can be tricky to pack. They are fragile, have multiple parts, and are often oddly shaped. Here is a simple guide on how to pack lamps, so that your light fixtures and your sanity arrive in one piece.

Step 1: Disassemble the lamp

​The first step is to disassemble the lamp as much as possible. This will make it easier to pack and protect the individual parts. If the lamp has a shade, remove it and pack it separately.

Step 2: Wrap the lamp base

Use bubble wrap or packing paper to wrap the lamp base. This will protect the base from scratches and dents.

Step 3: Pack the lamp shade

​If the lamp shade is made of glass, wrap it in bubble wrap or packing paper. If the lamp shade is made of fabric, you can use a pillowcase or other soft cloth to protect it.

Step 4: Pack the lamp in a sturdy box

​Make sure the box is big enough to fit the lamp and its shade. Fill any empty space in the box with packing paper or bubble wrap to prevent the lamp from moving around during shipping or moving.

Step 5: Label the box "Fragile"

​This will alert movers or shipping companies to handle the box with care.

Step 6: Tape the box closed

​Make sure the box is securely taped closed to prevent it from opening during shipping or moving.

Step 7: Mark the box with the room it will go in at your new home

This will make it easier to unpack your lamps when you arrive at your new home.

Here are some additional tips:

  • If you have a large or heavy lamp, consider hiring professional movers to pack and transport it for you.
  • If you are packing the lamp yourself, be sure to use strong boxes and packing materials to protect it from damage.
  • Avoid packing lamps in boxes that are too small, as this could cause the lamp to break.
  • If you are shipping the lamp, be sure to get a shipping quote from several different companies before making a decision.
  • When you unpack the lamp, be sure to inspect it for any damage. If the lamp is damaged, contact the shipping company or mover immediately.
