Properly packing your TV for a move helps prevent cracks, scratches, and costly damage. This guide walks you through expert steps to safely prepare, pack, and transport your television with or without its original box.

The safest way to pack a TV is using the original box with foam inserts, but if you don’t have it, use a specialised TV moving box with protective wrap.
Unplug and clean your TV, remove the stand, wrap it in a microfiber cloth, then use bubble wrap or foam padding. Place it upright in a fitted box and secure it with packing tape.
Yes, you can move a TV without the original box by using a dedicated TV moving kit or wrapping it securely in soft blankets with corner protectors.
Cover the screen with a soft, non-abrasive cloth before wrapping it with foam or bubble wrap. Never apply tape directly on the screen.
Use corner protectors and avoid pressure against the screen. Placing cardboard or polystyrene across the front adds extra protection.
No, TVs should always be transported upright. Laying them flat can damage the internal components and screen structure.
Ensure it's upright and tightly secured to avoid shifting or tilting during the journey.
Use a heavy-duty, adjustable TV moving box that fits the size of your TV and includes foam inserts or padding.
Detach all cables, label them, and place them in a separate sealed bag. Attach it to the TV box or pack it with your electronics bag.
You can also tape the sealed bag to the inside of the box using masking tape for easy reassembly later.
Yes, bubble wrap is safe when used correctly — but it should not directly touch the screen. Always place a soft cloth first.
Use large-bubble wrap around the TV and smaller bubble wrap for cables and accessories. Combine with foam for extra safety.
Place the TV upright against a wall or mattress inside the van and strap it in securely to prevent shifting.
Yes, professional movers can handle the packing and secure transportation of your TV, especially for large or valuable models.
They bring the right packing materials, ensure safe handling, and provide insurance in case of damage during transit.
Let your TV rest upright for a few hours before plugging it in, especially if moved in cold weather. Then reconnect and test all functions.
