  • In this video I show you three ways to resize your boxes to ship items.
    My ebay store: www.ebay.com/usr/mojo88forever
    Here's the box cutter/perforator tool shown above:

      Great video though! Still watching to see what #3 is... everyone has really pumped it up.

    I had to mail a 30"x10"x1.5" package for Christmas. Looking for boxes was more costly than the item was worth. Combined your 1st and 3rd technique and repurposed the box my cat food came in to be the perfect size in under 5 mins!! Thank you so much!

      Boxes are expensive 😭 especially for small businesses who don't have the space or $ to buy huge wholesale amounts. Then some people complain about the price of shipping but it's like I'm not making the numbers up 😭 help

    OMG! I hung out for all three, got to the last one, implemented immediately and in less than 5 minutes I had a box to ship a Barbie that needed to go out, after spending over an hour trying to do something makeshift myself.

      I almost stopped watching because the first one we all know. The second one too much work. the third one was why didn't I think of that. All those toys that are long and skinny! I'm glad I waited for the 3rd one.

    Great video. Idea 3 was really mind blowing. I had to pack a 24 inch monitor into a Costco shipping box to return the item to IT during this period of lockdowns. I almost went to try method 2 but decided to wait for 3. And man it blew my mind away too. Perfectly fit the monitor.

    Good stuff I also make boxes from larger ones. The perforation box cutter is what i use also. You can also just use the back of the box cutter blade i.e. the dull side, to score the line, less chance of cutting all the way through.

    The second one was pretty interesting. I wouldn't have thought you could get 2 from one 8x6x4 box. Very cool. I saw the third one on, I think, Facebook. A lady was doing it and yeah, it blew my mind too! It's a fantastic trick. Great video! I just subbed.
    P.S. You keep saying the word wrong. It's PER-fo-ra-tion. The first syllable is like "person", not "prepare". (Swap your "r" and "e".)

    I know this video is a year old, so hopefully you now know that you can purchase a box resizer tool on ebay for about $20. It's much easier because it marks the box all the way around. No uneven lines. Appreciate the video because not everyone knows about the handy tool on ebay.

  • @funkfireman

    On the first method, if you cut off the 4 flaps from the top which aren't needed, you can then line those along the bottom sides of the box if they're a suitable height which they are in this video. Then you will have a straight edge to score along, something to push against when folding and double wall the box, strengthen the package. I learnt this myself after many years packing although I never used to bother scoring the edge but will now thanks. Number 3 is the best trick though, long thin boxes are very expensive so being able to turn a square box into a rectangle is a massive help and money saver. Thanks for the video, all the best.

      Carbon steel scissors used for cutting kevlar cloth are the best for cardboard I've found. Never go blunt and make even the thickest cardboard easy work. I love scissors, one of the best ever inventions.
