How to Assemble a Box Like a Pro – Easy Packing Tips

1. Keep Box Flaps Out of the Way (And Avoid Battle Scars)

• Before opening the box, bend the top flaps down

• Flip it upright, tape the bottom flaps shut, and enjoy packing without cardboard constantly cutting your arms.

• Before sealing the box, just tug a side flap and enjoy the oddly satisfying pop.

  
  

2. Use a Box as a Packing Surface (Your Back Will Thank You)

• Set up one box and use it as a table for the next one.

• No more crouching like a raccoon digging through a trash can.
