How to Reduce Damage Risk When Shipping Large LCD Panels Internationally

Shipping large LCD panels (especially 55”–100”) is one of the biggest concerns for overseas buyers. Damage during transit not only increases costs but also delays projects and affects customer trust.

Here are the key practices professional suppliers use to minimize shipping risks.

High-quality suppliers never rely on a single layer of protection. Standard packaging should include:

• Anti-static film
• Pearl cotton or foam padding
• Shock-absorbing corner protectors
• Strong export-grade cartons or wooden crates for large sizes

For oversized panels, wooden crates are highly recommended.

Large LCD panels should always be packed and transported vertically, not flat.
Vertical packing reduces pressure on the glass surface and lowers the risk of cracks caused by vibration or stacking.

Although the product itself has no text, outer packaging should clearly indicate:

• Fragile
• This side up
• Do not stack

This helps freight handlers reduce improper handling.

• Air freight: Faster, lower risk, higher cost
• Sea freight (LCL/FCL): More economical, but requires stronger packaging

An experienced supplier will recommend the best option based on size, quantity, and destination.

For high-value LCD shipments, cargo insurance is essential.
It protects both buyer and seller from unexpected losses and provides peace of mind.

Professional packaging and logistics planning can reduce damage risk to a minimum—even for very large panels.
