Now, let's get folding!
1) Clear a clean, flat work surface that is larger than the area of your unfolded box. You’ll want to fold each box individually as attempting to fold multiple at once can lead to damage on the boxes below.
2) Look for the pre-fold lines (aka “scores”) on your unassembled box. Fold each of the scores individually on all sections of the box carefully towards the interior.
Next, let the sections release back to a flat position with the interior side facing up.
**There are scores very close together in two sections. Carefully fold each of these separately. The bow will not shut properly if this step is missed.
3) Fold up the front and back portions of the box. Keep the tucked flaps along the side of the box as much as possible.
4) Bring up the side walls of your box and snap them into place by folding the side flaps over the tucked flaps.
*If the side walls are flat, not slanted or peaked, then you have the correct assembly so far!
** At this point, you can fill your box with whatever contents you are using.
5) Close the lid by tucking the side flaps into the space left in the side walls.
