When shipping a TV, pack in an upright TV carton with foam edge and corner protectors, wrap the screen in non-abrasive padding, and block all voids so the unit cannot move.

On pallets of TVs, use stretch film and, where possible, Add pallet covers to shield against condensation or light rain during handling.
