Hi Richard, we're so glad to hear that you were happy with your pre-lit Vermont Spruce Christmas tree. Below are some steps that may help make it more efficient for you to repack your tree in the box it came with:
1. Start with the largest section (bottom one)
2. Start with the top branches of the section and work your way down to the lowest branches
3. Compress each sub-branch so that they point towards the outer tip end and then fold branch upward.
4. Once complete, set compressed section in the box so that the thickest side is closest to 1 end.
5. Repeat 2-4 for next section (middle one)
6 Once complete, set compressed section in the box so that the thickest side is closest to empty end of the box.
7. Repeat 2-3 for next section (top one)
8. Once complete, set compressed section in the box so that it sits on the top of the other 2 sections where there is the most space.
9. Squish down, Close box and secure with tape, 2 sets of bungee cords, or 2 belt straps if needed.
