Supplies
– Box cutter
– Decorations
– Measurer
– Cardboard or material to make box
– Packing tape
Steps
– Take the cardboard and box cutter and open up the cardboard so you can shape the cardboard into whatever shape you want
– Take the object you are going to send and use that to measure the dimensions if the box and cut accordingly
– Fold the box, so it fits well around the product.
– Make finishing touches to the box, so it looks nice, and so the item does not fall out or break. Then use the packing tape to seal up the box. If the object is fragile, then I suggest insulating the box with materials such as bubble wrap, tissue paper or packing peanuts, etc.
– Finally, decorate by adding a company logo or just make it pretty, however, you would like.

Question and Answer
One of the questions I hear a lot that revolve DIY Custom boxes are how are they better than just buying premade custom boxes made by professionals. Well in the case of DIYs:
– They are usually cheaper than going through a manufacture
– you get to have a lot more control over how the process is done
– Sometimes manufacturers do not let you add an addition that you want
– Sometimes the manufacturers around your area do not have a particular material that you need or want.
In support of buying it from a store some might say:
– When building, you lose time which can lead to you losing money and nobody wants to lose money
– There isn’t a warranty on homemade products so in the occasion where your box breaks you would have to start over and waste more money
– There is a questionable quality to handmade items such as boxes.

Storage boxes
Used boxes are less expensive than new ones. Check out local office buildings in your area for any copier paper or storage boxes they no longer need.
Environmentally-friendly
Using recycled/used boxes is an environmentally-friendly move. According to EcoBox, a Texas-based company that sells and buys used boxes, if every moving box used in the U.S. in one year was discarded, it would encompass 113,267 cubic feet of landfill. Opting for used boxes can go along way toward doing your part to reduce landfill waste.
THE ANCIENT WORLD
Boxing is one of the most ancient of all the martial arts, and has quite a clear and traceable history when compared to other forms of combative systems. The term boxing derives from the box shape of the closed hand, or fist. In Latin, the fist is called pugnus (hence the alternative terms pugilism). Pugnus itself derives from the Greek pugme, meaning “fist.”
What You Need To Do Before Installation
If you have determined that your RV’s TVs do not have digital tuners, then you will need 1 Digital TV Converter Box and one extra length of cable (length of cable depends on far the TV is going to be from the DTV Converter Box) for each TV. If you have a VCR that does not have a digital TV tuner, then you will need a converter box and extra length of cable for that as well (more on this later).
Things You Need To Understand Before Installation
Most RVs have a video switch box with buttons and/or knobs which allows you to choose different video sources for each of the TVs in your RV. These boxes vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. But usually you have choices such as Antenna, Cable, VCR, DVD, Satellite, etc.
What is a REAL moving box? Do you know?
The term “moving boxes” has been grossly overly-used to the point that it has lost its meaning for most consumers. Most people associate moving boxes with any old box that they can find around the house, or one that is sold in the stores. After all, if the store calls a box- a moving box, then it must be right? Wrong!
Industry Standard Sizing To Help You Pack & Protect Your Valuables
The second aspect that differentiates certified moving box is sizing.
The moving industry recommends industry standard sizing for certified moving boxes. Your entire home should be packed with these different sized boxes. Using industry standard sizes makes it easy to stack the boxes tightly in a truck so your movers will not need to make as many trips (this will save you money on the cost of your move) and your movers will even be faster because the boxes are meant to stack on top of one another.
