How to pack home electronics

Moving with home electronics can be hectic. Here are some tips to take into consideration when packing your valuable electronics like TV and personal computer.

TVs are delicate and their screens can be easily scratched and damaged. If you don’t keep the original box, you can buy a special TV box. Disconnect all cables, tie them with a cord and put them in a plastic bag. When packing your TV for the move, enwrap it in two layers of foam to protect the screen from damage. You can use a bubble wrap for the remote control. Put the cables and the remote control in the TV box and fill the empty space with peanuts.

When packing a personal computer, it is recommended to use the original box. If you don’t keep it, use a larger box so you can use a lot of packing materials, especially on the sides. Pack your monitor, case, keyboard and mouse with bubble wrap individually. Then you can put them in the box. Put a layer of crumpled paper on the bottom of the box. Place each piece vertically. Put a layer of crumpled paper between each part. Do not forget to put all of the cables in plastic bags and then in the box with the PC. You can take a photo of the wiring configuration to help you connect your system at your new home, or you can label each cable according to its corresponding piece of hardware.
