This overview provides Atlas agents and crews with best practices for safely packing and transporting TVs during moves.

Purpose:

• Protect TVs from damage and scratches during packing, loading, and transport.

• Ensure a smooth reassembly and setup at the delivery location.

Key Steps:

1. Unplug and Detach Accessories:

   • Disconnect all cables (HDMI, power, audio).

   • Remove TV stand or wall mount if possible.

   • Label each cable for easy reassembly.

2. Protect the Screen:

   • Cover the screen with a large foam sheet or original dust cover.

   • Avoid bubble wrap directly on the screen to prevent marks.

3. Wrap the TV:

   • Use a moving blanket or furniture pad with the screen facing up.

   • Fold sides over the TV and secure with packing tape.

4. Place in a Sturdy Box:

   • Use the original box or a heavy-duty flat-screen TV box.

   • Fill gaps with foam or packing peanuts to prevent movement.

5. Label the Box:

   • Mark as “Fragile” and indicate which side is up.

   • Include TV model and serial number for easy identification.

6. Transport Carefully:

   • Keep the TV upright during transport.

   • Avoid placing heavy items on top of the box.

Key Takeaway:
Following these steps protects the TV, reduces risk of damage, and ensures easy reassembly, contributing to a professional and efficient moving experience.
