How to Tape a Moving Box

www.mindfulmovi.... There's an easier way to tape those moving boxes quickly, and securely. Watch and learn!
Unfold Your Box
Many people overlook the fact that manufacturers put handy tabs right on packing boxes. When you're ready, you can fold them back and forth, and then down. Looking from the top side of the box, you can open it up, lean in, and easily start putting your items inside. Try to keep the tabs from separating, or ripping, so you can maintain the integrity of the box.
Prepare Your Tape
For your comfort, use box cutters to cut the tape, or tearable packing tape.
Add Your Tape to the Box
Take a piece of tape, and put one right down the middle of the two flaps on the bottom. Then, on the side seams, apply the tape across lengthwise, and pinch it, fold it like a little triangle on an angle, then fold the flap down.
Your box is ready to start packing. Watch our video to see how we do it!

I have to watch 6 packing videos to finally see someone who know what he is doing. Thanks for the video!

[@TheGruffness]

A year later and it’s still the case. This should be the top YT video for this search.

[@aboveandbeyondmoving]

Thank you so much. What else do you think I should make videos about, that would help others that are moving?

@@aboveandbeyondmoving Maybe for delicate furniture, how to partially dismantle and rebuild them.

[@Teena795]

@@aboveandbeyondmoving how about a video how to make a move easier for the disabled🤔

[@Saronite]

Fr, this guy is the only one who knows what he's doing and knows how to present info

[@missjddrage1111]

Award winning tutorial Sir!! No silly nonsense, or jokes. Just straight to the mission. Very much appreciated! 💐🥂💯🏆

It is easy to tell you are skilled at what you do by the precise movements of your hands and the content is delivered quickly and easy to understand. Great job!

[@aeipathy_live]

Unbelievably helpful. I’m packing my apartment alone, and have never done solo moving before, so this gave me a *lot* of peace of mind for how I set up my boxes. Thank you so much!

[@chicagoboyrn71]

Best video on securing a box for storage/moving. Short and straight to the point!

[@reneer33]

I mean, wow. Who knew taping a box could be so mind-blowing... this should have more views.

[@DiscreetlyDrew]

Seeing this 5 years after you made this and this was exactly what I needed. Thank you for this video!

[@charlottekikeleatinpeacewe7838]

[@lexiexi7494]

[@andrealoulou]

Thank you. I possibly would of used too much tape in the wrong place. Very helpful during a stressful time 😊

[@richkeegan65]

Checked out your other content and welp... you've got a new subscriber! All of this is stuff I'm going to delve into. The moving process can be overwhelming and this can help me strategize!

[@michael567jober]

i got my first shipping job and i’m doing horrible at tapping boxes. i’m on my 3rd day of work tomorrow. hopefully this helps

[@richkeegan65]

Thank you so much for this! Concise, informative, so, so helpful! My family is currently in the process of moving and ughhh...we're going to pay movers because we all have wretched backs and I want to get this right for them and for us. saved this to my favorites. 😊

Thank you for this vid

[@caerulemusic]

straight to the point and obviously you know what you're doing with none of that bullshit, thanks

[@rezakajbaf4906]

Seems very easy but I still had to look it up to make sure I won't fk up! Thanks!

[@BboP_]

leaving a comment to appreciate this simple how-to for dweebs like me

[@everythingelisha2547]

I felt dumb AF looking this up but glad I did. Thank you

[@aboveandbeyondmoving]

The only bad question is the one not asked. We do this everyday, and see it done wrong everyday. I hope everything went well.

[@Dakobah20]

getting ready to move and want to make sure im using the right tape, what is the name of the brown tape you are using?

[@thelydiaspringexperiment6437]

The colour of the tape doesn't matter but make sure it's polypropylene because the cheap stuff that you get in small local shops we'll just tear and the adhesive will come detached and everything will fall out of the bottom. A good roll of tape will cost you about 10 dollars a bad roll of tape will cost you 1 dollar and the contents of your box

[@SirCharles246]

Awesome thanks

[@trentwhite7327]

Thanks for the help brother

[@aboveandbeyondmoving]

Thanks for taking the time to send a message. Most people don't and I appreciate it. I never thought this video would be so helpful. We have others as well. They all give tips for moving.

[@LIVE781REDRUM]

what kind of tape would you recommend for a small heavy duty box that holds 50 lbs of books to ship into amazon fba?

[@aboveandbeyondmoving]

Just saw this. I would use brown tape that looks like that brown paper that we used in school as kids to secure anything heavy.

[@HUProductionist]

People underestimate this little skill but I dropped a box of dishes because I didn't secure it properly. So thank you for making this video

[@aboveandbeyondmoving]

Thank you so much for the feedback. We made this for the customers of our business and never thought anyone would really appreciate them.
