Serious Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I actually play my games, so I need to open the boxes from time-to-time. Opening these thin cardboard boxes without bending the lid a little bit doesn't seem to be my forte. It also isn't too difficult to put wear on the tabs under the lid. Are there any techniques you guys use to open the boxes without putting any noticeable wear on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Try open the boxes from the bottom. It can be a bit more difficult to get cartridges out this way, but any bends or creases that you might create will be invisible while the box is standing up on your shelf.

karokoenig Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Using a not too sharp knife to gently ease through the glued points usually does the trick for me. "Not too sharp" is important, because a razor may cut right through the cardboard without you noticing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 They're gamer's boxes. Heck with 'em, bend the lid a little. Eventually they'll develop a wear pattern along which they open all the time. That pattern won't look bad on them, either. As I said, they're gamer's boxes. This is why I'm willing to get boxes that are ... well used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
