When shipping a flat-screen display, 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. Ship the TV standing upright, Mark the box with “This Side Up” and “Fragile – Electronics,” and prevent exposure to rain or damp areas since the internal circuitry are moisture sensitive.
