Wooden Shipping Crates Heavy duty and collapsible wood shipping crates that are economical and easy to use. I like to use these when shipping fragile art works to friends for extra protection. Step 1) I print these on cardstock and the like to use a sharp razor blade to score-cut on the folds. The nice thin score will allow the box to fold nicely and retain its shape. Step 2) I prefer to glue the smallest tabs first to the base board with the two larger tabs. Then I glue the larger tabs to the base board with the single tab. Optional: You can choose to glue the last tab in but I usually fold it inside and secure with some tape so the receiver can cut the tape and retain the shipping crate's shape. Enjoy! 4x4x1 4x3x1
