Folding a box of cereal to properly close it involves a few simple steps to ensure the contents stay fresh and the box remains neatly closed.
Here's how to do it:
-
Close the Top Flap: Start by folding the top flap of the cereal box downwards, closing the opening.
-
Crease the Corners: Push in the corners of the box at the top, creating creases along the sides. This will make the sides angled inward.
-
Squeeze and Pleat: Give the creased corners a squeeze. This will cause the cardboard to pleat inwards, effectively shortening the top of the box.
-
Repeat on the Other Side: Do the same thing on the other corner: pushing, creasing, and squeezing to make the cardboard pleat.
-
Secure the Closure: The pleated corners should now allow the top flap to tuck more securely against the front of the box, holding it closed.
By following these steps, you can fold your cereal box to help maintain freshness and prevent spills.
