Opening Never-Opened Boxes

[Drain]

Here a tip that I use. I cut the tape with a thin knife or box cutter, that way you don't damage the seam. Then and I havn't seen the mentioned yet, is find a thin blade knife, slide it in the side of open of the flaps, slowly pull the flap open. Depending on the lenth of the flap's tab that siding in the box, you may need to do the over side and work it open. This way you will not damage the flap with a crease and the little flaps on the corners of the box to get the flap in place. I learn this trick when I used to buy boxed Sports set from K-mat, KayBees, Toys R Us, etc...
