Cardboard Boxes

Cardboard boxes can easily be used multiple times. Cardboard boxes are strong, cheap, and easy to use and made for many different storage and packing purposes. But there are things you should consider if you want to keep re-using cardboard boxes over the longer term. Don’t use too much tape to seal the boxes. One or two pieces of tape are definitely enough. Also use the tape across the joins and don’t cross tape them. That is the best and simplest way to keep the boxes closed.

When you open the boxes, just slice along the join with a knife. Never rip the tape of the boxes. This will make your boxes look ugly and it damages your boxes. Always weigh your boxes before distributing them. If your boxes are too heavily packed, you should consider leaving stuff or using more boxes. You should even consider repacking the boxes to create more space and shift the weight over more boxes.  On top of that, if the cardboard boxes are too heavily packed, it will eventually rip them apart or cause them to collapse.
