If possible, wrap it in situ or use an industrial hook. If not, be sure to place the chandelier on plenty of padding; cushions, towels and blankets work well. Laying it directly onto a hard surface is likely to damage it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To package the chandelier, first find a suitable cardboard box. Ideally the box should be around three inches larger than the chandelier all the way round. Consider the weight of the chandelier. For heavier chandeliers a double wall cardboard box will provide extra protection and puncture resistance.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Remove all light bulbs from the chandelier and pack in a separate box. Look for any other detachable pieces, if any other pieces can be removed, wrap these individually and package them in a separate box.<\/li>\n<li>Next, look for any sharp edges that could be damaged during transit. Wrap these with thick packing foam or use cardboard and tape to protect them. Pay attention to the top and bottom of the chandelier, the bottom is where the most pressure will be and, along with the top, it\u2019s the part most likely to be damaged. Wrap these areas well with packaging foam or bubble wrap.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the bottom of the cardboard box is well secured with tape. Cushion the bottom of the cardboard box with foam wrap or bubble wrap. Use your hands to wrap any loose wires and secure with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/strapping-and-industrial-stapling\/cable-ties-twine_C3430.html\">cable ties<\/a>. Lower the chandelier into the box and hold as upright as possible. Fill the rest of the box with loose fill, making sure these are well compacted so the chandelier can\u2019t move around.<\/li>\n<li>Once you\u2019re happy the chandelier is tightly secured inside the box, cover the top with layers of foam or bubble wrap. Close the box and seal with tape. Label all boxes containing the chandelier\u2019s parts as \u2018fragile\u2019 and be sure to mark which way up the box needs to be kept. Specialist fragile and this way up labels can be used.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><u>How to package artworks: Tips from the experts at Eyestorm<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Valuable artwork is very precious, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/cardboard-boxes\/types-boxes\/flat-cardboard-boxes_C101212.html\">packaging paintings<\/a> or any other art requires it to be well protected.

Clear a large packing table or workstation, if you do not have a large enough space, lay blankets on the floor to create a big enough surface to see all your materials and items to pack. The blankets will also help protect the fine china from accidental drops and breakage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You\u2019ll need a cardboard box at least one inch larger than the fine china you\u2019ll be packing inside.

A lot of damage to these kinds of items occur because they bump into each other during transit.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Take your smaller cardboard box and cut two pieces of polyurethane foam liner to fit snugly inside. Place one section into the bottom of the box and put your first layer of wrapped china on top of this, then cover with about two inches of loose fill. Repeat until the box is 1-2 inches away from being full. Now add the second piece of polyurethane foam, ensuring there is a gentle pressure when you close the box. Be careful not to add too much pressure as this could damage the contents.<\/li>\n<li>Add around three inches of loose fill to the bottom of the larger box and place the packed smaller box on top. Use loose fill to fill all the space around the smaller box. Once this is done, close the double walled box and secure all flaps and edges firmly with tape. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-labels\/packaging-shipping-labels\/fragile-packaging-labels_OFF_UK_0183.html\">fragile label can then be applied to the box.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><u>How to package wine: Tips from the experts at Yapp Wines<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shipping wine?

Imports arrive in a variety of (normally flimsy) cardboard boxes of 12 bottles, but the wine is palletised (as 50 cases) and shrink-wrapped, therefore breakages are extremely rare. We then despatch orders through a UK courier and our own vehicles for next day delivery.\u00a0These packages can be individual bottles, cases of six, 12 or 15.\u00a0Neither we, the customer, nor the carrier wants a breakage, so our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/services\/bespoke-packaging_cms_000057.html\">branded boxes <\/a>are well-designed to withstand the fulfilment process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How easy was it to find protective packaging that perfectly met all your shipping needs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not easy, but we\u2019ve honed our packaging over 50 years through collaboration with delivery firms, packaging companies and through trial and error.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What sort of protective packaging do you use the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>5mm thick (glued) cardboard boxes that have insert dividers and bases (all 5mm) to add additional protection.\u00a0Polystyrene inserts are also used in the wine industry, but these aren\u2019t recyclable so we avoid them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you ever had any breakages related to the packaging you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, unfortunately, breakages occur but they\u2019re unusual thankfully. It\u2019s expensive when it happens, not least as insurance is very limited in carrying wine bottles.\u00a0For very rare bottles, specialist couriers are used.\u00a0During December, we despatched over 2,000 wine packages and total breakages were in single figures (so &lt;1%).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the largest order you\u2019ve ever sent?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We regularly send out palletised loads (of 50 cases) to the many restaurants that we supply.\u00a0We\u2019ve also sent full container loads (15,000 bottles across 25 pallets) to ski resorts.\u00a0On the whole, larger orders are less likely to be dropped, crushed, lost or stolen than small consignments.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>How to package a bike<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to transport a bike, then it\u2019s important to take precautions so it\u2019s not damaged in transit.

Remove any extra accessories, such as lights, mudguards and bottle holders. Wrap these separately and add to the box after your frame.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the bike seat. If your seat is attached with a bolt, put this in the separate box or plastic bag so it isn\u2019t misplaced. Then use the spanner or wrench to remove the pedals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you can, turn your handlebars 90 degrees so they align with the bike frame. If this isn\u2019t possible, you\u2019ll need to remove these too. Unscrew any bolts holding the handlebars in place, but don\u2019t detach any cables. Lower the handlebars vertically so they sit in line with the front wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Next remove your front wheel. If you have quick release bolts this is very simple. If not, unscrew any bolts and add them to the box or plastic bag with the others. Let some air out of both tyres before packing them.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>To protect your bike during transit, first you\u2019ll need to use cable ties to attach the handlebars to the main bike frame. Use foam tubing wrapped around the bike frame to prevent scratches, secure in place with cable ties. Wrap as much of the frame in foam as possible for the best protection. Where it\u2019s not possible to use foam, use bubble wrap instead and secure with tape.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Cover all cogs well with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging_C16.html\">protective bubble<\/a> wrap to avoid the sharper edges scratching the rest of the bike.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Fill the bottom of the box with about two inches of loose fill and place the bike frame on top. Then slide your front wheel into the box next to the frame. Add the small box or bag holding any nuts or bolts, along with any accessories removed at the beginning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now fill the rest of the box firmly with loose fill. The aim is to use enough so the frame doesn\u2019t move around too much.
