Moving and packing your flat screen television is a delicate process, given how fragile it is. You want to pack it as safely and secure as possible to survive the transportation process. While there are different methods for transporting a television, Memphis packing services offered by All My Sons includes flat screen TV packing boxes. This specialty packing product comes in various sizes and is designed to protect flat screens from damages commonly associated with moving. To get started with safely packing your flat screen, follow these steps:

Prep your flat screen television

Take a picture of the back of your television and then disconnect all cords from the television and place them along with remotes, screws, and any other loose items into a clear bag. These items can be placed inside another packing box or taped to the outside of it to keep everything together. Putting these items inside the box isn’t advisable, as the shifting parts can cause damage to the screen.

Cover the flat screen TV

The professionals on our Memphis packing service team suggest you cover your flat screen TVs with a plastic bubble wrap for extra safety. Then, secure the ends with tape. Before covering your TV however, clean it with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust particles from the screen. These particles can create permanent scratches when shifting around during transport.

Place your television in the box

Being sure to keep your TV upright, place your television in the box carefully. Always keep a flat-panel TV in the upright position during moving or storage to avoid pressure on the lightweight glass, which could cause permanent damage.

Secure and Label the Box

Once your flat screen is packed away, secure it with packing tape and label it. Reputable packing services will always mark a television box as fragile and include the contents of the box.
