DIY how to make FREE cardboard packing shipping BOXES ebay ReSeller

[@AvanteAvenue]

Update: I should have made a longer flap (3”) on box #2. Box prices keep increasing! It’s time to start making our own, especially our favorite sizes! Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing, Vickie & Mark ~ Avante Avenue Here is the link for a similar 24" ruler: amzn.to/3PgfDTk

Thanks for helping us save money making our own boxes! You are amazing 🤩

[@AvanteAvenue]

You are so welcome! Thank you Clarissa!

[@annmcdonough8268]

Great ideas as always. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@AvanteAvenue]

Thank you Ann!

[@NicholasDT]

New to the Ebay scene. I think this technique will really save money as I am starting out! I find so many boxes at the grocery store; but they're too big. This is such a great idea! Why didn't I think of it?..

[@AvanteAvenue]

Sounds good. Try to avoid boxes that contained known allergens.

[@bwote]

I've created some fairly scary frankenboxes recently. This video was so helpful and made so much more sense. Thank you! Time to get that ruler tool. ❤

[@AvanteAvenue]

Oh, yes frankenbox....fun yet sometimes challenging! Thank you! (I updated the link late last night for the ruler.) Thank you!

[@sharonfields5493]

Vicki You are amazing! Queen of pack and ship + box maker!! I love all your great ideas.

[@AvanteAvenue]

Thank you Sharon! Appreciate that!

[@vintagemarkat3266]

Thank you so much for this amazing video!! I probably will watch this video over and over until it sticks in my head. I will be bringing home more cardboard from Aldi and Sam's Club.

[@AvanteAvenue]

Thank you! I also pick up cardboard and some boxes here and there. If it's a shipping box though, it must be rated on the bottom no less than 32 ECT (edge crush test). Be careful not to use lightweight "inner" shipping boxes at actual shipping boxes. They are often found in stores. I also avoid any boxes that could have contained foods that are known allergies or chemicals. Thanks!

[@sharonhonacher4017]

This technique will certainly come in handy for that occasional “special “ box. Thanks!

[@AvanteAvenue]

I hope so! Thank you Sharon!

[@JohannaSeo-e4n]

Good idea...Guess I will be heading to Aldi's more often❤

[@AvanteAvenue]

Yes, lots of boxes at Aldi! Thank you!

[@MarySitaras]

Thanks Vickie for the box tutorial. I think it's a great idea if you're in a bind or have an item that needs a custom size box. For me, it would be too time consuming and hard on my hands and wrists (have trouble similar to Mark). I'd rather spend the time photographing and listing. But excellent for many of your viewers I'm sure! Appreciate you!

[@AvanteAvenue]

I completely understand. It's not for everyone but perhaps someone(s). Thank you!

[@maryalgiere3186]

Excellent tutorial ! Just what I needed ❤. Thank you.

Wonderful! Thank you Mary!

[@AvanteAvenue]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@helenchung1]

[@AvanteAvenue]

Wonderful! Mark has made some too. Thank you Helen!

Vicki GREAT video! I don’t know of any other content creator that would take the time to put together this type of video. THANK YOU very much. So informative. To the point that I may even make some of the smaller boxes. 4x4x4 Have a great week! And thanks again for all your videos.

[@AvanteAvenue]

Thank you so much!

[@darktoylord]

KZbin hasn't been putting your videos in me feed so I have missed a bunch. Sorry :( It's funny that they chose this one to show though. I just so happen need to ship something tomorrow that I don't have a box for. So custom box, here we come :)

[@AvanteAvenue]

Have you hit the "bell" icon. Other than that, I do know that if you skip a few, KZbin fills your feed with "current" interest and those you subscribe to get pushed down if shown at all. Thank you for watching and commenting today! Happy box making!

[@Signe-p3m]

[@allywilkeforsenate]

Pizza cutter works too and won’t puncture the cardboard.

[@AvanteAvenue]

I’m cautious with pizza cutters. Will pass. Thank you Ally!

[@vintagemarkat3266]

Wow! Genius!! Thank you for the tip!!

[@thomascabral8443]

how funny I was just thinking about how I make my own boxes its worth it,, tip if the cardboard has too much printing I open them up as you have at glue point reglue so printing is now inside also traced the priority box I needed cut it out

[@AvanteAvenue]

Yes, I always reverse boxes with lettering other than ebay. Example: Amazon boxes Thank you Thomas!

[@billieb]

where did you get the ruler with a handle?

[@AvanteAvenue]

There’s a link in the description below the video (show see more). Thanks!

[@billieb]

@@AvanteAvenue Duh. I forgot to hit "more". Checked out your ebay shop. Nice. What mailer do you recommend for your earrings?

[@AvanteAvenue]

Approximately 6 x 9 padded envelope. I like it large enough to be able to put one air pillow to the side of the jewelry and large enough to accept a shipping label. No particular brand although I might have a link I can’t recall. To qualify for USPS tracking, the package has to be at least 3/4 inch thick. Hope that helps and thank you.

[@brandiskelton6648]

I ordered my first set of boxes from that company....horrible. Holes in all 8 corners when assembled.

[@AvanteAvenue]

I can't recall which company that I must have mentioned in this video but did you contact them? I have found that very few boxes are perfectly assembled. I've come to the conclusion that they sell their "seconds" on-line (ebay, Amazon, etc) and keep the best ones for their own websites. But, I've never had "holes" before. Sorry to hear that. I do hope you reached out to the company. Thanks, Brandi.

[@lionheart830]

I would have removed the flap from the design. I can't see how that is helpful. Anyone else think differently?

[@AvanteAvenue]

Not sure which box you are referring to, but if you’re referring to the little square box. Every box has to have a glued flap. I actually made the flap tab too small.

[@lionheart830]

@@AvanteAvenue The smallest box. What would be so heavy that the box needs such restraint? Oh, I am a new subscriber here.

[@AvanteAvenue]

To reduce crushing. Hope that helps and welcome to the channel!
