    • Grab the appropriate box for the item.

    • Note: The box should fit the item you are shipping while leaving room for packaging material.

    • Press the creased edges along the longer sides of the box.

    • Locate the two open ends of the box.

    • At each end there are two small flaps attached to the narrow sides of the box.

    • Press these flaps towards the inside of the box until they are perpendicular.

    • On the side where you folded in the two smaller flaps, locate the long and narrow flap that is flat along the outer edge.

    • Locate the part of the flap with a crease and fold the top portion with the crease inwards until it is perpendicular.

    • Fold the entire flap inwards until it is flush with the top of the box.

    • Fold down the rounded rectangular flap that is attached to the other flap and insert it into the slit on the side of the box.

    • Do not overlap tape multiple times.
