How to Pack Electronics: TVs, Computers and Gaming Systems Safely

Packing electronics can feel risky. Screens are fragile, parts are small, and wires get tangled fast. If you want to pack electronics safely for a move in Maryland, Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Delaware, or Pennsylvania, this guide will help. Two Men And Van is a licensed and insured mover, and we offer professional packing service, TV movers, and full electronics moving service, with free written estimates and 24/7 availability.

Start with the right supplies. Use sturdy boxes, foam corners, bubble wrap, packing paper, and anti-static bags. If you still have the original boxes, use them. If not, choose snug boxes that limit movement. Label every box clearly and add “fragile” on all sides.

Unplug and prep your gear. Shut down computers properly. Eject disks and memory cards. Remove batteries from remotes and controllers. Dust off vents so debris does not move during transit. Take photos of cable setups before disconnecting anything. This makes reassembly easy.

Wrap each item the right way. For TV packing tips, cover the screen with a microfiber cloth, then a flat layer of bubble wrap, then a padded blanket. Place TVs upright only, never flat. For computer packing for moving, use anti-static bags for towers, graphics cards, and external drives. Cushion all sides with foam sheets. For consoles, protect gaming consoles with rigid boxes and shock-absorbing padding. Keep controllers and cords together in a labeled pouch.

Keep parts and cables organized. Use small zip bags for screws, dongles, and adapters. Tape the bag to the main item or label it clearly. Coil cables loosely and secure with soft ties to avoid strain.

Prevent static and shock. Use anti-static wraps for circuit boards and sensitive devices. Keep liquids away from electronics. Avoid using newspaper, as ink can transfer to surfaces.

Protect screens and lenses. Never place pressure on a TV screen. Do not stack items on top of monitors or consoles. For cameras, microphones, or specialty gear, use padded cases or extra foam layers.

Control climate and handling. Do not leave electronics in extreme heat or cold. Allow gear to reach room temperature before powering on. In elevators and narrow halls, move slowly and keep items upright.

If you are moving a large TV, a full desktop setup, or a multi-console gaming station, call Two Men and Van. We provide packing help, safe loading, and trained handling for high-value items. Our team offers electronics moving service with the right materials and careful methods. This is ideal for moves in DC high-rises, tight stairwells in Delaware or Pennsylvania, and buildings with elevator reservation or strict building access rules in Maryland and Northern Virginia.

Two Men and Van provides licensed and insured service and free written estimates. If you are searching for TV movers or a professional packing service near you, we can help today.

How to Pack TVs

Keep TVs upright at all times. Use foam corner protectors, a padded wrap, and a box designed for flat screens. Fill empty space with soft padding to prevent shifting. Do not overload the TV box with accessories. Pack remotes and cables separately, then label them.

How to Pack Computers

Remove external accessories. Wrap the tower or compact PC in anti-static material, then cushion it with foam on all sides. Pack monitors in their own padded box. Back up your data before move day. Keep laptops in padded sleeves and place them in a carry-on or clearly labeled small box.

How to Pack Gaming Systems

Protect gaming consoles with rigid boxes, bubble wrap, and soft padding around vents and ports. Secure controllers, headsets, and cables in a labeled kit. Keep original packaging if possible. Avoid stacking heavy items on console boxes.
