- How to make a cardboard box. DIY Cardboard Carton Box. I explain in detail how to make a box any size you need out of recycled corrugated cardboard.
I made a video earlier of my process of building a box and I have received a volume of comments that an explanation of the process would be appreciated.
Here are some of the items you may need to build your own box.

Thanks for checking out my video, I hope you found it useful. You can find links for the products I use above in the description by first clicking "SHOW MORE".
Legit youre the only person on YT who actually made it easy, clear and simple to follow. Thanks ive been trying to figureout how the F* to create my own packaging and develop a prototype thanks
You are a very bright man, as I'm sure you already know! I spent more years in the packaging industry than I care to remember and that was a very good demo. You made an AFM - All Flaps Meet - carton. Basically the only nit I could pick is that what you call the Height, is actually the Depth. LxWxD But I only point that out as a courtesy, not as a criticism. Also, for the best stacking strength, the corrugation should run vertical if possible. Nice job!! Oh, one more thing... if the box you need to make is larger than the corrugated you have, you can make a two piece box. Basically the same as yours cut in half with two glue flaps, if that makes sense.
Thank you. I appreciate the input and I find it interesting. An AFM, ha ha, fantastic. I didn't even know. I learn something everyday. LxWxD got it. 😀👍
I have checked other videos on how to make a box but your method is so scientific and perfect. Makes so much sense. Thanks!
Edit: I just finished making a box to mail books. I am so happy that the box turned out perfect. Oh the joy of making things yourself instead of buying. Thank you once again. I love UA-cam and I love the people who post tutorials.
Awesome, thank you!
I just want to say that I normally never leave comments on videos, but I was in such a frustrated state trying to figure out the simple formula to make a box, and for it being this simple it's amazing how many other useless videos I had to go through to find yours and it makes me want to give you a big hug and thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has cut my packaging time down quite a bit. Your video gives people back their time. Thank you. You got a subscriber and a like from me. Peace out.
many thanks for slowing things down. This is the most comprehensive step by step easy to understand video on making boxes that I have come across so far.
I made a 20x19x7 box with cardboard that already had creases and this worked like a charm. Took me about an hour to make it but I did it. Thanks for the help my friend!
this video was so helpful! I’ve just started doing art commissions and finding property sized packaging can be hard. Plus I have so much leftover cardboard that I wanted to put to use but didn’t know how to. thanks :)
Great video! and I'm super appreciative as having the right box can make such a huge difference in shipping cost! I followed your instructions and just made a custom box for a long thin item that I would never have been able to find a ready-made box for with anything close to the right dimensions--and I or my customer would be paying to ship lots of air. Thanks a million. I know I'll be using your instructions again and again in the future : )
Good video. Informative. I have made boxes before (and used 'em) successfully. My method has always been basically the same as yours.... i study what already exists and then create a version that is scaled down to the size I need. Premade, manufactured boxes don't always come in the best size.....thanks for the video.
Finally putting my geometry skills to use thanks to your most excellent instructions! So happy you took the time to make this video!
Wow! You're a born teacher. Thank you for simplifying this. I knew it had to be simple, but no matter how many times I've attempted, I just got more frustrated. I cannot wait to try this tonight because I have 2 orders to ship. Thanks again.
You can do it!
Thank you for this posting. I have been looking for a video that gives a basic, simple explanation on how to construct a shipping box. Wow, I have seen everything, including one video that used multiple (like 8) measurements using algebra. You get right to the point with easy to follow instructions that work. Again, Thank you
Thanks for that.
I always learned so much from your videos. But when I saw you were just going to make a cardboard box, I thought why not. After watching this video, I was an educational experience. I will never look at a cardboard box the same. It was very easy to understand on how to get a two dimensional pattern to form into a three dimensional object.
I really like watching and listening to how your mind works! Your mind is ingeniously creative. Your brain is wired so differently than mine, so that’s mostly why I learn so much from you. Your mind sees projects in a certain way and because I do not see projects being done like you, you teach me to think differently. You are very gifted and I’m sure you help more people than you realize, to live their lives more independently. I look forward to your videos each month more than anyone else’s. Thank you for everything.
Thank you Dr. I appreciate all that you do to support me.
Best custom cardboard box making tutorial in UA-cam hands down (IMHO) . Thanks
Wow, thanks!
An excellent tutorial that many eBay sellers would do well to watch.
Thank You it helps me understand 3D in the sewing world. A tutorial on other shapes would be great. Cheers Alex. Salute.
For whatever reason, I find it hard to wrap my head around stuff like this and the way you went through it all really helped! Thank you so much for this great video
I really just watched an entire video on how to make a cardboard box even though I already know how, because this video was fantastic
I’m more confused than ever now 😂
IS HE MAKING A BOX OR AN APARTMENT COMPLEX?
LOL

Thank you!
Thank you for giving me a idea.
Most welcome 😊
Good one. Thank you.
Excellent!!
Very helpful video! Thank you so much!!!
excellent tutorial. I will add a little piece of advice: Before making any package you have first to wrap the item with bubbles to see it's final volume-size. Thank me later. (The man of course referred to this at some point)
J.
Great video👍🏻
Thank you so much!! Tremendous help’ explained everything so wel
the Wonders of UA-cam.
I feel like I can do it now. Thanks! 🌟
You can do it! Also you can call me, my sister or come over and do it here.😉

Thank you very much for your time and efforts Sir... 🙏
🤗🙏
Excellent
Very impressive
🙏
thank you
Thanks for the video :)
Great job. I really like it
Yes
Thanks for the guidance. I made a box from a larger box.
Dude! Tysm!!! Now i know why boxes are messy! Hahaaa!
I’m wondering if you could teach me how to make an octagon shaped box . I’d like to make one without a top just a bottom. To hold a stuffed balloon.
good work
Thanks
Well done! Thank you.
This is useful because the stores only sell like two different square sizes of boxes and they’re all too big and I need small rectangle boxes. Thank you. Is that a butter knife you’re using
I think you are referring to the bone folder, link in the description. Glad to be of use. Thank you.
Thanks
Good stuff......👍
Ma"nm. Very interesting..i learn something good
Nice! Thank you!
😃👊🙏
Very useful! Though, I've got to start making boxes but my boss doesnt want to use any glue or tape. Is there a name for that style of box that secures itself? Is there a method behind making boxes like that?
I think I have seen those. They look complicated. I would not know how to do that but I think I saw Jimmy Diresta make one once.
Great video sir, thank you
Very welcome
Thank you for this
My pleasure!
THANK YOU!!!!
very useful 👍
Thankyou so much🖤
Boa tarde Alexandre Dyer virei fã de tua fã eu amo máquinas de costura desde criança, acabei de me escrever agora no teu canal, sucesso Alexandre Dyer 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good, Thank you.
This is the study of "Cardbordism" theory And Application
If you don't have a bone folder (and don't want to buy one), I have found that the back-side of a table knife works OK, so long as you don't press down hard enough to cut through the top layer.
Thank you sir
Hi sir.Is it possible for me to build a big size cardboard box for my fridge by using this principle with a cardboard sheet( which comes as a roll)
Amazing, thanks a lot
🙏
Very useful thank you
Thanks, Your Welcome.
Do you think you can make a blue print for a Media box that is along the exact rules as the box. Been struggling to make it right . Thank you in advance . Also it would be great if you can make it collapsible . Blessing to you .
Alexander... EXCELLENT! Just curious... are you an engineer, (EE here)? Thanks again!
No I am not but my son is 😃👍
Anyone know of an online calculator that can show needed folds based on box dimensions it is fed?
I just came here for the project
Does this work for L530mm W120mm D5mm? It doesn't for me.
It will work. When dealing with measurements as small as 5mm you margin for error is very very slight.
I gave up and got a gift box 😂 I’ll try again when I don’t have a time crunch and have bigger sheets of paper!
🎂
Who else is here for a project ❤😊
❤️
meow i need a box meow i need one. DONT TALK ABOUT SHIPPING! I HATE WAAAAtTer!
