Kübox Assembly & Disassembly Instructions

Kübox is designed for simple, tool-free assembly and reuse. Follow the instructions below to assemble, close, open, and prepare the container for another shipping cycle.

Assembly and packing are separate steps. This page shows how to build, close, and open the Kübox. For cushioning, centering, restraint, and fragile-item protection, use the dedicated packing guide.
Assembly

Watch: How to Assemble a Kübox

Watch the complete assembly process first, then use the step-by-step instructions below as a quick reference.

Step-by-Step Assembly

1

Place the Kübox on a Flat Surface

Start with the collapsed Kübox resting securely on a clean, level surface.

2

Remove the Corner Hubs

Remove the plastic corner hubs and set them aside. They will be reinstalled when the Kübox is closed.

3

Remove the Top Lid

Lift the top lid away from the container and place it nearby.

4

Remove the Corner Spacers

Remove the corrugated spacers positioned in the corners of the collapsed container.

5

Remove the Wall Panels

Take the side-wall and end-wall panels out of the Kübox base and organize them for assembly.

6

Install the End Walls

Insert the end-wall panels into the appropriate channels in the Kübox base.

7

Install the Side Walls

Fit the side-wall panels into the base and engage them with the end-wall panels to form the complete container.

8

Confirm the Container Is Square

Make sure all four walls are fully seated and the Kübox stands square and stable before loading the contents.

Pack the Kübox Before Closing

Once the container is assembled, properly cushion and position the contents before installing the top.

Fragile and damage-sensitive items should be cushioned, centered away from the exterior walls, and restrained so they cannot move freely during transportation.

The Kübox provides the structural outer container. Proper internal packing protects the contents. For cushioning, movement control, multiple-item packing, documentation, and fragile-item protection, see How to Pack a Kübox.

Close and Secure the Kübox

9

Install the Top Lid

After packing is complete, place the top lid evenly over all four wall panels.

10

Install the Top Corner Hubs

Place one plastic corner hub onto each corner of the top lid.

11

Insert the Locking Pins

Insert the locking pins into each corner hub until they are fully seated and secured.

12

Check the Corner Hubs

Confirm the top and base hubs are properly secured before the Kübox enters the shipping network.

Final Assembly Check

Before shipping, inspect the completed container.

Walls Fully Seated

All side and end panels should sit correctly inside the base and lid channels.

Hubs and Pins Secure

Check each corner and confirm that all locking components are completely installed.

No Bulging or Distortion

The assembled Kübox should remain square. Do not force the lid closed over oversized or improperly packed contents.

Important: If a wall, hub, pin, cornerboard, base, or lid appears damaged or does not seat correctly, correct the condition before shipping.
Opening & Disassembly

Watch: How to Open and Disassemble a Kübox

Kübox is designed to be opened without destroying the container. Watch the video below for the opening and disassembly process.

Step-by-Step Opening & Disassembly

Keep the hubs, pins, panels, lid, and base together during opening so the Kübox can be inspected and prepared for reuse.

1

Remove the Top Locking Pins

Remove the locking pins from each of the corner hubs on the top lid.

2

Remove the Top Corner Hubs

Lift the four plastic hubs from the top corners and keep the hubs and pins together.

3

Remove the Top Lid

Lift the lid evenly away from the wall panels and place it on a clean, dry surface.

4

Remove the Contents

Carefully remove the packed items and internal cushioning before continuing with disassembly.

5

Remove the Side Walls

Lift the side-wall panels out of the base channels and separate them carefully from the end walls.

6

Remove the End Walls

Lift the remaining end-wall panels out of the base.

7

Organize the Components

Place the wall panels, corner spacers, hubs, pins, and other components together so nothing is lost between uses.

8

Collapse for Storage or Return

Return the components to their collapsed configuration for storage, return shipment, or the next use.

Keep the hardware. The hubs and locking pins are reusable structural components. Store them with the Kübox rather than discarding them after opening.

Inspect the Kübox Before Reuse

Kübox is designed as a reusable shipping system. Before preparing the container for another shipment, inspect its structural components and overall condition.

Inspect the Panels

Check corrugated surfaces for significant punctures, crushing, moisture exposure, or other damage.

Inspect the Structure

Check cornerboards, hubs, pins, base, lid, and fastening components for damage or excessive wear.

Repair or Replace

Replace damaged serviceable components rather than placing a questionable container back into service.

Designed to Be Assembled Again

Unlike packaging that must be cut, torn, nailed, stapled, or otherwise damaged to access the contents, the Kübox locking system allows the container to be opened, disassembled, stored, and reassembled.

That makes Kübox particularly useful for repeat shipments, return logistics, field-service equipment, demonstration equipment, reusable packaging programs, and other applications where the shipping container can remain in circulation.
