There are a few priceless possessions that you want to keep safe during a move, and if you are like me your television set is one of them. Properly packing your television will ensure its survival on the road and back into your home again.

The best way to pack your television is to use its original box. It was meant to fit that specific television, and usually comes with foam blocks or other support to keep it secure.

Some of us, however, don’t think to keep the original box our television came in so the next best thing would to find a box big enough that will fit your television. Local moving dealerships, such as Uhaul, have a lot of different boxes available to choose from for the specific size of your television. They are also a good place to look for packing supplies to wrap around your television.

There are different packing supplies that can be used around your television before you place it inside its box. Look around for what works best for you, whether that be bubble wrap, moving pads, or even towels. You can secure them with painters tape if you don’t want to worry about damaging the outside of your television set.

If a box cannot be found for your television be certain to use more packing material than you normally would to be sure that it absorbs most of the shock from the move, and not your television. Bubble wrap is a good, inexpensive material to use around your TV. Another added protection for your television would to place card board over the screen to make certain it doesn’t get scratched.

When moving your television be certain to have another person there to help you move it. Televisions can be a lot heavier than we expect and having an extra person there to help put it in its box or move it to your vehicle will help make sure it doesn’t get dropped.

Never put a television on its side during the move. Placing it in as close to an upright position as possible is best when moving sincetelevisions were meant to be upright and can handle traveling a lot better that way.

Remembering to pack your television properly will keep it safe during your move. And before you know it, you will have it back on its entertainment center, ready for use - without a scratch or dent to be seen.
