Never wrap a lamp base or shades in printed newspaper. Wrap the shade in two or three sheets of plain newsprint or a pillowcase and place separate from the lamp base in a medium or large carton. Only add enough packing paper around the shade to keep it from shifting. Too much paper can cause the sides of a shade to bow inward. It is best to have a professional packer crate large Tiffany type or other glass type shades and chandeliers.
All items are very fragile.
They should either be professionally crated into a wooden crate or carried separately in your personal vehicle if possible. Wrap each item in a paper pad or light blanket. Place a two to three inch layer of wadded up paper into the bottom of both the inner and outer sections of the mirror carton. Place the item to be packed into the inner section of the mirror carton. Place enough wadded up paper on both sides of the item to keep it from shifting sideways.
