How to Tape a Moving Box

Unfold Your Box
Many people overlook the fact that manufacturers put handy tabs right on packing boxes. When you're ready, you can fold them back and forth, and then down. Looking from the top side of the box, you can open it up, lean in, and easily start putting your items inside. Try to keep the tabs from separating, or ripping, so you can maintain the integrity of the box.

Prepare Your Tape
For your comfort, use box cutters to cut the tape, or tearable packing tape.

Add Your Tape to the Box
Take a piece of tape, and put one right down the middle of the two flaps on the bottom. Then, on the side seams, apply the tape across lengthwise, and pinch it, fold it like a little triangle on an angle, then fold the flap down.

Your box is ready to start packing. Watch our video to see how we do it!

Found this to send to my daughter because she is moving and doesn't have a clue. Absolutely correct because I used to pack industrial goods for shipping
