Thought I would help some of you guys out.
I sell a lot of shoes on ebay and the buyers usually like it when the box for their shoes come in good condition along with the shoes and most people hate it when they get their shoes and the shoebox is just taped up or wrapped with some paper.
Finding boxes to ship out shoes is a pain. My brother and I came up with this pretty cool technique to make boxes to ship stuff in.
We use USPS Priority Mail boxes that you can pick up at your local post office. These boxes are very sturdy yet at the same time very light as well.
The particular box that I am using is 13.5x12x3 but there are a few variations of this box varying by 1 to 3 inches.
Step One
Get the box
Step Two
Measure the side of your Jordan box. I usually use a standard 14 centimeters to leave some breathing space.
Step Three
Measure 14 centimeters from the edge of the box and draw a line with a ruler.
Step Four
Use a blade and make a light surface cut. Repeat on the other side.
Step Five
Bend the cardboard on the cuts you made.
Step Six
Cut the ends of the box to allow it to create flaps.
Step Seven
You should be able to bend the cardboard into a three dimensional box.
Step Eight
Fold the flaps that you cut over and tape them down.
Step Nine
Your shoe box should fit perfectly and if not, adjust your measurements accordingly.
Step Ten
Tape shut and you are ready to ship out your shoes.
