Which joint is recommended for securing a light-duty fiberboard box?

The recommended joint for securing a light-duty fiberboard box is a taped joint. Taping provides a strong yet flexible bond, making it ideal for boxes that may need to be opened and resealed without compromising the structural integrity. It is particularly effective because it adheres well to the surface of the fiberboard material and can accommodate minor variations in box dimensions that might occur during handling or storage.

Using tape also allows for ease of application and is quick, making it a practical choice for securing light-duty boxes in packaging environments. Additionally, it gives a neat finish and can also serve as an identification method if labels or markings are placed on the tape. In comparison, staples and screws might introduce structural weaknesses or damage to the fiberboard, and glue joints might not provide the same level of versatility and ease of use as tape.
