TV Shipping Guide: How To Pack And Ship A TV

Step by Step: Pack Your TV Safely

1. Measure your item and find an appropriate-sized television moving box

To pack your TV correctly, it’s crucial to begin by taking precise measurements. Begin by measuring the width, height, and depth of your TV and then select a box slightly larger than these dimensions. By confirming your TV’s dimensions, you can avoid any guesswork and ensure that your TV fits snugly within the box, flanked by protective materials on all sides.

2. Wrap the TV screen in a soft, protective blanket or foam wrap

One of the most important parts of packing your TV for moving is to secure the screen, which is prone to scratches and damage. Start by wrapping the screen in a soft cloth or foam that can absorb pressure and impacts. Fasten the wrapping with heavy-duty packing tape to prevent slip-offs. You can consider using special screen protector films for additional safety.

3. Place foam corner protectors around the edges of the TV

These act as the first line of defense against edge impacts. Although an easily forgotten step when packing a TV for moving, protecting the corners shields the device from sudden bumps that can lead to screen cracks.

4. Carefully place the wrapped TV into the box

Upon placing your TV inside the box, ensure no gaps are left unfilled. Position the TV in the center, surrounded by protective padding on all sides. Use a good amount of packing material to fill the surrounding free space. Avoiding any movement inside the box is key to protecting the television. Packing the box with extra padding will ensure the TV stays stationary for the entire move.

5. Seal the box with strong packing tape and label 'Fragile'

Double or triple tape the box’s openings and seams for a firm hold. Use bright, easy-to-read 'Fragile' stickers on multiple sides of the box. By properly sealing and labeling the box, you’re making sure that handlers know to give it special attention before TV shipping.
