1)  Mirror cartons are designed to create a custom fit.  You will need to tape together four individual cartons, which will eventually be "telescoped" together to form one large mirror carton.

5)  Slide two cartons together and place your largest mirror or picture frame in first.  Push the two cartons together to create a tight fit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6)  Continue wrapping picture frames and mirrors in layered paper padding and add them to the carton until it is full.  Put packing  paper in between each frame and in any empty gaps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7)  Once your picture frames and mirrors are packed in tightly, take the remaining two cartons and slide them over the top of the bottom two cartons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8)  The final step is to wrap tape around the whole package, both vertically and horizontally.  The larger the mirror carton is, the more tape you will want to use.
