Packing a Television (Big Screen)

A television, especially a big one, can be a major hassle to pack. This is one of the items that you own that, especially if its a plasma screen, you must be extremely careful with as it is very fragile and when it breaks, it breaks for good. Heres a set of tips to help you move you're TV safely.

• Find the original box that the television came in, or get a large box approximately the same size as the TV. Get foam forms also to keep the TV safe inside its box.
• Unplug all cables from the television and from the cable box. Be sure to call your cable company to pick up your cable box as it is owned by the cable company.
  
• Lay the television on its side or back and place the foam forms on both ends. Then slide the television into the box, slowly and carefully
• If you do not have the original box and subsequently don't have the foam forms, you will have to purchase some Styrofoam blocks to safely transport your TV. You can find them at most stores that sell packing supplies. Just place two of these blocks on either end of the TV and one on the bottom where it stands, and tape them to the television to secure them.
• If there is any wiggle room in your box, fill it with more Styrofoam and label your box.
