Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a first and second minor-flap folder to fold inward a first and second minor-flap on a bottom of a box, wherein the second minor-flap folder remains stationary while the first minor-flap folder moves towards the box until it comes in contact with the box and stops, thereby adjusting to a length of the box, after which the first and second minor-flap folders pivot upward and fold the first and second minor-flaps of the box; a first and second major-flap folder to fold inward a first and second major-flap on the bottom of the box after the first and second minor-flaps are folded, wherein the first and second major-flap folders move towards the box until they come in contact with the box and stop, thereby adjusting to a width of the box, after which the first and second major-flap folders pivot upward and fold the first and second major-flaps of the box; wherein the first minor-flap folder and the first and second major-flap folders pull back to their original positions when the box is removed from the apparatus, thereby allowing the apparatus to automatically adjust to length and width of boxes placed within it; and the first major-flap folder comprising a first and second roller held by a first and second arm pivoting around a first pivot point, the first roller to come in contact with a first box wall and roll upward along the first box wall as the first major-flap folder moves towards the box, the second roller to come in contact with the first major-flap and fold the first major-flap as the first major-flap folder moves towards the box.
