Packaging materials are incredibly versatile tools that serve multiple purposes, from protecting goods during transport to ensuring they remain pristine while in storage. This week, The Packaging Doctor comes to the rescue of a customer who’s seeking solutions to safeguard their stock of TV monitors during a building renovation project.
Dear Doctor, We’re currently in the midst of a building refurbishment, and we don’t want to risk storing our stock of TV monitors outside due to the associated costs. Could you recommend some materials that will effectively shield the screens from potential damage or dust produced during the renovation process? We’d greatly appreciate your advice. Best regards, David Hi David, I’m happy to help! Packaging materials are designed not just for transportation but also for long-term protection, making them ideal for your current situation. To ensure your TV monitors are thoroughly protected, I’d recommend starting with a layer of Jiffy foam roll. This non-abrasive foam is gentle yet effective at safeguarding delicate surfaces like those on electronic devices. Available in different thicknesses, widths, and lengths, this material can be easily customized to fit any size of monitor. Cutting it to size ensures there’s no wasted material and offers a cost-effective solution.
In addition to the foam, I’d suggest placing a silica gel sachet inside each wrapped monitor. These sachets absorb moisture, which is crucial for protecting sensitive electronics from humidity. After securing the foam with packing tape, you might want to add foam corner protectors to reinforce the vulnerable edges and corners of the monitors. This extra step will offer additional defense against bumps and scratches during the renovation period.
To further seal everything in place, consider wrapping the entire unit with pallet wrap. For added security, especially given the high value of your monitors, I’d recommend using black security pallet wrap. It not only provides an extra layer of protection but also helps deter tampering.
With these measures in place, your TV monitors should emerge unscathed from the renovation process. Let me know if you need any more tips or assistance!
