Why Climate Wins
Condensation + heat kill boards and screens. Climate (55–80°F, drier) + upright TVs in original/padded boxes + silica packs + no stacking flat. Remove batteries, back up drives, bag remotes/cords labeled per device.
Packing Steps
- Photos of cable setups; bag + label per device. Original foam best; else double-box with 3-inch padding.
- Pallets + off-floor; nothing heavy on screens. Power off 24h before sealing to avoid trapped warmth.
- Visit quarterly; power on briefly to chase moisture. See climate units.
FAQs
Can I store a TV flat?
No — upright, braced, climate. Flat stacking cracks panels.
Batteries in storage?
Remove, tape terminals, store cool/dry per fire rules. No swollen packs — recycle them.
