How to Pack Your TV for Moving

During a move, TVs can be one of the most difficult items to pack. That’s why we’re using our moving expertise to make this video guiding you through the process, so you can ensure your widescreen gets to its next destination safely.

Organize Items

To save yourself some time, you’ll want to take a picture of the TV, cords and all, before you disassemble it. This way, you’ll know exactly how to reassemble it when it’s arrived at its new home. 

Going to your local hardware store and asking for a TV moving box may seem tedious, but it will be worth your peace of mind knowing your television is secured. If you’ve hired a moving company, just ask them.

 

Packing Steps

 Once you have all of your packing supplies, start wrapping the center of the TV with two to three layers of bubble wrap to protect the screen. Then, add a piece of foam to each corner and secure it with tape. 

When you place it in the box, make sure the screen is facing up. Securely tape the box, and label the front and the top of the TV in large font on the box. Don’t forget to mark the box as “FRAGILE” in multiple places.

Final Thoughts

If you’re still uncomfortable with packing a TV, be sure to consider getting packing help from your movers. Professional movers are experts in minimizing potential damage to your dishes.
