A method of forming a box is discussed. A sheet of foldable material has a central region and tabs extending from the central region around its perimeter. Each tab includes a first fold line at the central region, and second and third spaced apart fold lines parallel to the first fold line. A reinforcement ring has a perimeter corresponding to the perimeter of the central region and a thickness greater than a thickness of the sheet. The reinforcement ring is disposed on the central region. Each tab is folded along the first fold line to extend transversely to the central region against the reinforcement ring, along the second fold line to extend inwardly over the reinforcement ring, and along the third fold line to extend transversely to the central region against the reinforcement ring. The tabs folded around the reinforcement ring define side wall(s) of the box.

1. A method of forming a box, the method comprising: providing a sheet of foldable material having a central region and a plurality of tabs extending from the central region around a perimeter thereof, a first fold line being defined between each of the tabs and the central region, each tab including second, third and fourth spaced apart fold lines parallel to the first fold line;providing a reinforcement ring having an outer surface defining a perimeter corresponding to the perimeter of the central region, an inner surface opposed to the outer surface, and a thickness defined between the inner and outer surfaces, the thickness of the reinforcement ring being greater than a thickness of the sheet of foldable material;disposing the reinforcement ring on the central region; andfor each of the tabs: folding the tab along the first fold line to extend transversely to the central region against the outer surface of the reinforcement ring,folding the tab along the second fold line to extend inwardly over the reinforcement ring,folding the tab along the third fold line to extend transversely to the central region against the inner surface of the reinforcement ring, andfolding the tab along the fourth fold line to extend against the central region inwardly of the reinforcement ring, thereby enclosing the reinforcement ring;wherein the tabs folded around the reinforcement ring define one or more side walls of the box. 2. The method as defined in claim 1, wherein the perimeter of the central region and of the reinforcement ring is rectangular. 3. The method as defined in claim 1, wherein folding the tabs includes completely concealing the reinforcement ring with the sheet of foldable material. 4. The method as defined in claim 1, wherein providing the reinforcement ring includes defining a plurality of spaced apart V shaped notches across a width of a reinforcement strip, and folding the reinforcement strip along each of the V shaped notches to obtain the reinforcement ring. 5. The method as defined in claim 1, further comprising, after folding each of the tabs, disposing an inner reinforcement sheet over the central region and over ends of the tabs extend against the central region. 6. The method as defined in claim 5, wherein a thickness of the inner reinforcement sheet is greater than that of the sheet of foldable material. 7. A method of forming a closed box assembly, comprising: forming an outer box, and inner box, and a cover box each using the method as defined in claim 1;snuggly inserting the inner box within the outer box with the central region of the inner box resting against the central region of the outer box, the one or more side walls of the inner box protruding beyond the one or more side walls of the outer box; andsnuggly inserting the one or more side walls of the inner box protruding beyond the one or more side walls of the outer box within the cover box. 8. The method as defined in claim 7, further comprising hingeably connecting the cover box to the outer box. 9. A method of forming a box assembly, the method comprising: i) forming an outer box including: a) providing a sheet of foldable material having a central region and a plurality of tabs extending from the central region around a perimeter thereof, a first fold line being defined between each of the tabs and the central region, each tab including second and third spaced apart fold lines parallel to the first fold line;b) providing a reinforcement ring having an outer surface defining a perimeter corresponding to the perimeter of the central region, an inner surface opposed to the outer surface, and a thickness defined between the inner and outer surfaces, the thickness of the reinforcement ring being greater than a thickness of the sheet of foldable material;c) disposing the reinforcement ring on the central region; andd) for each of the tabs: folding the tab along the first fold line to extend transversely to the central region against the outer surface of the reinforcement ring,folding the tab along the second fold line to extend inwardly over the reinforcement ring, andfolding the tab along the third fold line to extend transversely to the central region against the inner surface of the reinforcement ring;wherein the tabs folded around the reinforcement ring define one or more side walls of the box;ii) repeating steps a) to d) to form an inner box; andiii) snuggly inserting the inner box within the outer box with the central region of the inner box resting against the central region of the outer box. 10. The method as defined in claim 9, wherein the perimeter of the central region and of the reinforcement ring is rectangular. 11. The method as defined in claim 9, wherein providing the reinforcement ring includes defining a plurality of spaced apart V shaped notches across a width of a reinforcement strip, and folding the reinforcement strip along each of the V shaped notches to obtain the reinforcement ring. 12. The method as defined in claim 9, further comprising, after folding each of the tabs, disposing an inner reinforcement sheet over the central region and over ends of the tabs extend against the central region. 13. The method as defined in claim 12, wherein a thickness of the inner reinforcement sheet is greater than that of the sheet of foldable material. 14. The method as defined in claim 9, wherein snuggly inserting the inner box within the outer box is performed so that the one or more side walls of the inner box protrude beyond the one or more side walls of the outer box, the method further comprising: repeating steps a) to d) to form a cover box;andsnuggly inserting the one or more side walls of the inner box protruding beyond the one or more side walls of the outer box within the cover box. 15. The method as defined in claim 14, further comprising hingeably connecting the cover box to the outer box.
