Box Assembly Instructions:

Preparing Your Picture or Mirror For Moving:

  1. Make sure any sharp edges from hanging brackets are taped over or removed to prevent snags while packing.
  2. Tape down any mounting wires.
  3. Although not required, we highly recommend packing your framed item in a Picture Protector cover to prevent damage to the picture or mirror while it is being packed or transported inside the box.
  4. Start by wrapping Enviro-Bubble® vertically around the top and bottom corners on one side, then tape the wrap in place.
  5. Repeat this step on the opposite side.
  6. Once the two vertical sections are wrapped, use the bubble wrap again to wrap horizontally across the top and bottom of your picture or mirror.
  7. If you purchased Bubble Corners instead of wrap, you can simply slide a piece onto each corner of your picture or mirror.

Your picture or mirror is now ready to be packed!

Assembling the Four Corner Pieces:

  1. Lay the box down on a flat surface and use a box cutter or utility knife to cut the two plastic straps holding the four pieces together.
  2. Choose your first piece to begin assembly. Note that all four pieces are identical, so there is no particular order that needs to be followed when assembling the pieces.
  3. Fold the box along the designated score lines, making sure that the graphics are on the outside of the box.
  4. Next, fold in the flaps. Start with the smallest flap, then lay the two longer flaps over each other.
  5. Tape the flaps down by placing a long piece of tape across the exposed edge. Only one or two pieces of tape should be needed per corner piece.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 until all four pieces are assembled and ready for placement on the picture.

Packing the Box:

  1. Take your wrapped picture or mirror and lay it down on a flat surface.
  2. Slide one completed section onto the bottom corner of your picture or mirror.
  3. Slide a second section over the adjacent corner and secure these two pieces together with tape.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the top of the picture or mirror and secure the final two pieces together with tape.
  5. Turn the box over and take the back side along the exposed edges to finish securing all four pieces of the box in place.

Your picture or mirror is now ready to be safely transported during your move!
