Step 1: Use the original packaging wherever possible
The safest way to ship a 98" CommBox screen is in its original packaging, which includes:
-
Foam corner guards
-
Heavy-duty reinforced cardboard box with pallet base
-
Plastic strapping to secure the screen in place
Step 2: Palletise the screen
Always place the boxed screen upright on a sturdy, standard-size pallet. Ensure:
-
The screen is vertical (never flat)
-
It is centred on the pallet with no overhang
-
The box is strapped and shrink-wrapped securely to the pallet
🚫 Never lay the screen flat — this increases the risk of panel cracking during transit.
Step 3: Label the shipment clearly
Use large, clear labels that include:
-
“FRAGILE: SCREEN – DO NOT LAY FLAT”
-
“THIS SIDE UP” arrows
-
Delivery address and contact details
✅ Label all four sides of the pallet so handlers see instructions from any angle.
Step 4: Use a sensitive freight provider
Choose a sensitive freight provider that:
-
Specialises in handling large-format AV equipment
-
Offers tailgate or forklift delivery options
-
Can provide tracking and insurance
💡 Tip: Inform the freight provider that this is a 98" screen requiring vertical-only transport and unloading.
Step 5: Receive and inspect the screen
When the screen arrives:
-
Inspect the box for any damage before signing the delivery docket
-
Take photos of the packaging before opening
-
Check the screen for cracks, dents, or damage
-
Report any issues immediately to the freight provider and CommBox Support
