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

[@djlatino101]

you’re the dad i never had ty

[@Esther-ps3vx]

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 KZbin and I love the people who post tutorials.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Awesome, thank you!

[@techcontinuum7421]

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.

[@artistbridgetgriggs]

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.

[@beverlyb5144]

Thank goodness someone on You Tube actually knew how to explain how to make a box STEP BY STEP!!! Thank you so much. I will be making a template for my books and magazines I will be shipping because those boxes (just one cost $1.65 each). This will save me a lot of money!!! Thank you again. 😊

[@nicmert]

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.

[@AlexanderDyer]

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. 😀👍

[@megarahul911]

By far the best video on DIY cardboard making I have seen so far. Thank you.

[@albinoroadie]

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!

[@mikialila]

I know this is 4 years old and you might not see my message, but this is so cool and very informative and helpful. Thank you for this tutorial. All the best.

[@jeffmoyer1]

Thank you, very much, sir. My small business appreciates your wisdom in box making. Very well done

[@AlexanderDyer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jeffmoyer1]

Alexander Dyer it definitely was! I think I made 10 boxes and shipped them out already!

[@peregrinatious]

You are a very good teacher! Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge.

[@Atri0]

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

[@jenbahm1064]

Finally putting my geometry skills to use thanks to your most excellent instructions! So happy you took the time to make this video!

[@elainaspianolessons1177]

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.

[@AlexanderDyer]

You can do it!

[@callumari3199]

Thank You it helps me understand 3D in the sewing world. A tutorial on other shapes would be great. Cheers Alex. Salute.

[@Strylover]

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.

[@mike86982]

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

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thanks for that.

[@leeyahmorales5082]

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 :)

[@jromhek2070]

Best custom cardboard box making tutorial in KZbin hands down (IMHO) . Thanks

[@AlexanderDyer]

Wow, thanks!

[@drmichaelelinski6992]

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.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thank you Dr. I appreciate all that you do to support me.

[@MLFranklin]

I was thinking of making a box in more simplistic way, but you filled in the details of how to make it much better. Thank you for making this video!

[@anneformanek5180]

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 : )

[@harleysq]

thank you very much sent this to a good buddy he appreciates this so much

[@tonyd1149]

Dear Mr. Dyer, thank you for making and posting this video.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Happy to do so.

[@judydyer]

excellent!! I have wardrobes with shelving and want boxes that fit and leave little wasted space in sides, front and top. Now I can make custom fitted containers for my stuff.

[@bjb0808]

This is great. Just what I was looking for and easy to understand. Thanks so much!!

[@AlexanderDyer]

Great to hear!

[@AudaciousAce1989]

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

[@mahoganinav3158]

5:05 my mind was blown 🤯 thank you SSSSOOOOO much for simplifying this process.

[@copy2180]

I am searching like this kind of demo I really wanted to learn how to make my own packaging since my items is bulky.thank you

[@AlexanderDyer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@anthonyadekunle3345]

Thanks your explanation is extraordinary.you are indeed a teacher of repute.once more thanks a million.

[@gmcxm211]

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.

[@antwhite684]

This is really gonna add to the "handling" in my shipping and handling charges.

[@shellycoppock4825]

Love it! Thank you! I was so proud when I made one and it actually worked!

[@AlexanderDyer]

Great job!

[@patriciaowens4584]

Great at teaching how to do this. Thank you!!

[@TheeAbstractHero]

Unintentional ASMR is strong with this one. Anyway, thanks for the help. This will be a very handy video for shipping all sorts of used car parts.

[@erinjones6911]

[@novide3418]

Fantastic video man!

[@Andrew-gl6kd]

This is Genius!

[@Robo983]

Thanks for the guidance. I made a box from a larger box.

[@roadstar499]

This was helpful... you can basically also find a perfect size box already made and take it apart like you showed and use it as a template to make several boxes using card board from large card board boxes...using a straight edge ,ruler and a razor knife.. some medium and small boxes cost over a $1.00 ...so why not grab some scrap card board and make your own...thanks

[@n.h.9877]

Or you have cardboard left for recycling and do not want to support expensive boxes and make your own. Tomato tomato, potato potato

[@heroofthederivations7305]

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 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@AlexanderDyer]

Good, Thank you.

[@jkar1973]

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.

[@juanacampuzano8680]

Ma"nm. Very interesting..i learn something good

[@derpherpp]

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

[@AlexanderDyer]

I think you are referring to the bone folder, link in the description. Glad to be of use. Thank you.
