With my 12" lantern that arrived today, that annoying cardboard sleeve would not budge, because it was getting caught on the metal tabs that hold the glass panels in place. 

Finally, after making one clean cut to the cardboard at the front, I was able to shove the cardboard toward the back of the lantern on each side of the candle, very carefully, because I didn't want to hurt the flame tip or dislodge the candle from where it is screwed into the lantern. Pushing the cardboard toward the back changed its rigid shape enough that it could then be lifted up past the metal tabs that it had been catching on. 

There has to be a better way to package this.
