Chris Curro and Henry Wang of the Albert Nerken School of Engineering
describe the conventional cardboard box as “wasteful, hard to open, and
difficult to pack.” They designed an alternative box

called
the “rapid packing container,” which uses 15 percent less cardboard than a
conventional box and requires no tape, making it an environmentally
friendly alternative. The rapid packing container is assembled with what
they call a “rapid folding jig." Press the cardboard into the jig, and
presto: a new box whose design allows sealing with a single recyclable
adhesive. The box is also reversible, and can be reused with the label-free
side out.
