Book 3 — Shortening a Pasteboard Box

Shortening a Box by Bending Up the Bottom after Removing the End and Cutting Down the Sides

If a pasteboard box happens to be too long for a special purpose it can be shortened as shown. The sides are cut down to the bottom and the end removed. The bottom is then bent up on a line between the places where the sides were cut down, to form a new end for the box. The joining parts are then held with a thread or wire fasteners.
