[Milsurplus] Mini Light Bulb Question

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

However they pack them, I believe their intent
is to cause you to buy new lights each year to
avoid going insane trying to rebox them.

Talk about planned obsolescence!!!

I've just purchased the 400 count Mini Light Indoor Outdoor set,stock number 
66-377C  from Wal-Mart's  for a bargain price of $8.70. My  mission is to  
decorate one each  tree as per the "Commander In Chief's"  orders.

The lights were packed in a 9X6X3 inch box. After unpacking and 
accomplishing the tree decorating I began to wonder about repacking  the 
lights back in the box  through the small opening in the top of the box 
after the Christmas season is over. It appears to be a seemingly hopeless 
task.

My question is do the Chinese receive special  training for packing the 400 
mini lights in these boxes or perhaps the box is assembled around the 
lights? Or should I get a larger box?
