How to pack floor and table lamps for a safe move?
Struggling to pack your delicate floor or table lamps? Empire Movers and Storage NYC is here to assist you with quick, practical steps to ensure your lamps are well protected during your move.
Measure the lamps: Since lamps vary in shape and size, begin by measuring their height. This will help you choose appropriately sized moving boxes.
Gather packing materials: Collect all necessary supplies such as sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and cushioning material. Then, carefully remove the lampshades and bulbs.
Pack bulbs and shades separately: Place light bulbs in their original packaging or secure them in plastic cups. Shades should be packed separately—preferably stacked if they are of similar design and shape—to prevent damage.
Remove accessories and secure cords: Detach any additional lamp components and wrap the power cord neatly around the base. Avoid using tape; instead, tuck the cord’s end securely into the coil.
Wrap the lamp base: Generously wrap the lamp base in bubble wrap. When possible, pack only one lamp per box to ensure optimal protection.
Fill empty space and label: Use soft padding to fill any remaining space inside the box to avoid shifting. Clearly label each box as “Fragile.”
