Step 1: Lay it Flat and Prep the Base 

  • Start by laying the box flat on a clean surface, ensuring the box lid is furthest away from you.
  • Fold the centre flaps upwards.
  • Fold the sides inward.

 

Step 2: Stand the Box Up 

  • Take the upper half of the box and fold it inward towards you.
  • Bring it all the way up so that the box body is now standing upright.

 

Step 3: Secure the Front Face 

  • Fold the two smaller side flaps inward toward the centre of the box.
  • Push the front face in to enclose them.

 

Step 4: Lock the Base Supports 

  • Fold in the side flap internal supports to create that superior quality, reinforced double wall.
  • Insert the tabs into the slots at the base of the box to lock everything firmly into place.

 

Step 5: Fold and Close the Lid 

  • Fold the long lid flaps inward, then fold the top of the lid downward to create a clean right angle.
  • Fold the front of the lid down over the front flap and secure it into the groove.
  • Shut the lid and you are all done!

 

Give yourself a high five. Your archive box is completely assembled, exceptionally strong, and ready to organise!
