If you're moving a short distance, often it's not necessary to pack lamp shades separately from their base. But if you're moving a long distance or storing your items in a storage facility for a while, then you should always pack lampshades properly so they won't get damaged. Shades are delicate and attract dirt and dust.
Start With the Right Size of Box
Choose a moving box that's large enough to accommodate your lampshades—plus a little room for paper or other packing material. Securely seal the bottom of the box with packing tape. If the box is a lot bigger than the shade, make sure you line the bottom with packing paper or towels or other soft material to provide a cushion. If the shade fits into the box perfectly, there's probably no need to add cushioning.
