carton sizer is saving us time & money!
I want to sound off about a tool that I purchased from ULINE when I ordered boxes earlier this month. Their carton sizer is saving us both time and money. I wish I had found this item months ago!
Because we ship packages everyday, we keep an inventory of boxes. We recycle and get free shipping supplies every chance we get, but we still have to purchase a basic supply. It is a challenge to stock the right size boxes…large enough to allow for safe transit of the contents, but small enough to keep postage and waste to a minimum.
This gadget allows us to cut down large boxes to the needed size in just a few minutes AND it gives us straight edges. I recommend this item for anyone that wants a simple inexpensive solution to shipping challenges. It helps us make use of what we have on hand.
If you do get one, please come back and tell us what you think!

Does this tool just score the box and then you fold it down to be smaller, or does it cut it and you have to overlap the cardboard an reseal it with tape? Thanks
Hello Chris! The carton sizer scores the box so it folds down in a neat fashion. It is a rather simple gadget, but I use it several times a week. Sometimes saving just an ounce of shipping weight makes all the diffence on postage costs – and it helps me put recycled boxes to good use. If you try a carton sizer please come back and let us know what you think. Leah
