make larger boxes to ship eBay items

Here is a quick and easy way to make a larger box to help with your eBay shipping. This will help keep your shipping costs under control since most shipping supply companies have minimum order quanties for large odd sized boxes and charge a lot to ship boxes to you.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 2 boxes (same size)
  • packing tape
  • razor
  1. Step 1

    Open the box up at the point where the inside flap is gluded together.

  2. Step 2

    Cut off the section from which the flap was removed. Repeat for the other box.

  3. Step 3

    Form and tape the box like you would any normal box except their is one side missing. Repeat for the other box.

  4. Step 4

    You should now have two boxes that look like the picture shown.

  5. Step 5

    Join the boxes together where both sides are open to form one large box.

  6. Step 6

    Place a large piece of tape on the inside of the box to hold them together.

  7. Step 7

    Follow that up by placing the piece of cardboard cut off one of thr boxes inside the bottom of the box for more support and then tape that piece down.

  8. Step 8

    Flip the box over and then tape the two boxes together. Then flip your box right side up. Close the flaps and tape them shut.

  9. Step 9

    Tape the 2nd piece of cardboard that was cut off originally on top of the box to keep it together.

  10. Step 10

    Now you're all done. It may sound confusing, but just follow the pictures and it is a piece of cake. This will work with any size boxes. You are now on your way to ship items like the eBay pros do.

  • make sure you tape all edges once your box is complete.
