How can you reinforce a cardboard box?

a year ago by Artisian to c/diy

I have many many (lightly used) cardboard boxes, and I have several heavy things I want to ship. Is there an intelligent way to combine boxes or additional cardboard that will limit the chance of things breaking?

Solid pieces of cardboard that covers the base of the box should help spread the weight evenly across the flaps of the box. Adding tape straps along the flaps extending around the corner and up the sides should also help.
