Shipping a Mannari Stone Oribe Lantern to the United States by DHL
This small Oribe Stone Lantern consists of two stone sections: an upper section and a leg section that are assembled together for display.
To prevent the two granite pieces from coming into direct contact during transportation, each section was protected separately with bubble wrap. Corrugated cardboard was then added around the wrapped sections to reinforce the outside before both pieces were placed in the same shipping box.
The protective materials were arranged according to the shape of each stone section to help reduce contact and movement inside the box during transportation.

Completed Package Before DHL Shipping
Packing Two Stone Sections in One Package
Because this Oribe Stone Lantern consists of two separate granite sections, each piece was protected individually before both were placed in the same outer box.
Bubble wrap and corrugated cardboard were used together to reduce contact with the stone surfaces and help keep the sections from shifting inside the box during transportation.
The bottom of the cardboard box was reinforced with hot glue to help prevent it from opening under the weight of the stone product.
