To shrink wrap a TV for protection, you should place the plastic wrap or shrink-wrap around the TV and secure it with tape.
Protecting Your Television for Moving or Storage
Properly wrapping your television is crucial to protect its screen and delicate components from scratches, dust, and minor impacts during transport or storage. Shrink wrap, also known as plastic wrap, provides a snug first layer of protection.
Steps for Wrapping Your TV
Based on protective packing methods, the process involves a primary wrapping step followed by additional cushioning:
- Apply the First Layer:
- Place the plastic wrap or shrink-wrap around the TV. Ensure it covers the screen and frame thoroughly.
- Secure the Wrap:
- Secure the plastic wrap layer with tape. This holds the wrap in place and prevents it from unraveling.
- Add Cushioning:
- After the shrink wrap is secure, wrap the television in bubble wrap. This adds a layer of cushioning to protect against bumps and impacts.
- Secure the Bubble Wrap:
- Secure the bubble wrap with tape. This keeps the bubble wrap firmly around the TV.
| Wrapping Layer | Purpose | How to Apply |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic/Shrink Wrap | Protects screen and surface from scratches | Wrap around TV, secure with tape |
| Bubble Wrap | Provides cushioning against impacts | Wrap around shrink-wrapped TV, secure with tape |
This layered approach ensures the television's surface is protected from scratches by the shrink wrap, while the bubble wrap absorbs shocks and prevents damage from handling or movement.
