How to Pack an LED / LCD TV for Shifting Safely

Before you unplug

• Take a photo of the cable connections at the back so setting up is easy later.
• Put the remote, small cables and screws in a zip bag and tape it to the back of the TV or pack it in your essentials bag.
• If the TV is wall mounted, have the bracket removed and fill the screw holes if your lease needs it.

Original box or a rigid carton

The original box with its foam inserts is the best packing. If you do not have it, cover the screen with a soft cloth or foam sheet, wrap the whole TV in two layers of bubble wrap and place it in a rigid carton or a wooden crate made to size, with corner guards.

Never put pressure on the screen - no tape directly on the panel and no other goods stacked against it.

Carry and load it standing

TVs travel standing on their edge, the way they sit on a stand, held between mattresses or soft furniture so they cannot move. Two people carry larger TVs, holding the frame - never the screen.
