Many of our customers ask us what the best way to pack a
television is. The absolute best way is in the original box with all the
original packing materials. However, most people don't keep the box, and this
guide will help you pack your flat-screen TV for your move. One thing to keep
in mind is flat screen TVs are designed to always sit upright.
In the first place prepare your TV for packing: turn it off,
unplug the cable from the electricity system and clean it from the dust. Fold
the cables and secure them with a strap. You can wrap them in a towel and later
place them inside the box with the TV itself.

Wrap your TV up with towels or other cloth for protection
against scratching. After that if you are moving your TV in a box use a lot of
bubble wrap around it and then tape it.
When it comes to picking the right box it is always best to
use the original in which your TV came. If not, look for other options to get
yourself the right sized box – for example you can ask your movers if they have
one. And then when they come for the moving they can bring you the box and even
pack your TV for you – if you request this service from them. In order to get a
price for the packing box and supplies of your TV and the packing of it you can
fill in this cost estimator which is free and will get moving experts to
contact you and then you can discuss the eventual costs with them.
When securing a TV in a box you can also use a cardboard
cover or towels in front of the screen itself and styrofoam inside the rest of
the box. Then write on the box “Fragile. TV” and continue with loading it
inside the truck.
If you want your TV to be really well secured and packed you
can request from your mover a specially made wooden crate. It is efficient and
very handy when it comes to long distance moves.
