    Fantastic. I’m taping boxes and thought there had to be a better way than I was using. I’m the guy who tapes the edges he was talking about. Thanks. This is really helpful.

    Wow, this is great! If you really think about it, assuming the box's sides are much stronger than the tape. Then the job of the tape is only to things together. I wonder if the H-configure is unnecessary. I'll try this method even though I have only two 50lbs boxes to worry about.

    This is super insightful - gotta take the pro's word for it vs the H method I've seen elsewhere. If the guy can work the tape like without a dispenser, I trust the dude! hahaha

    Been trying to teach this to my employees for years. They love taping the edges of the flaps. Like they are worried deadly spiders might sneak in or something. Ugh.

      I think the box ripped...the heavy object inside hit his foot...he then fell down from the stairs....that's why he hasn't replied.

    also doing it sideways actually does help if the tape gets cut for some reason, ait prevents everything from falling off the box so i disagree

      It’s better to pack heavy items into smaller boxes so that you’re not struggling to carry them, and lighter items in bigger boxes so that you can transport more in one go. Packing a huge and heavy box will take more out of you. This from someone who moved out of a third story apartment with no elevator. And we didn’t even have a lot of stuff! Lol

    • @SonnyGTA
      @SonnyGTA 2 роки тому +4

      You gotta think a little bit before you pack. Why would you use such huge boxes and load them up so much so no one can move them?? Smaller boxes and more manageable. Not very smart.
