Don't buy cheapo scissors and you will be fine. Kitchen scissors are the best, if you want you can even get full metal ones.

Cut around the cardboard. and only cut two sides so you don't end up doing the whole rectangle.

I use this, it is great.

Edit:I have seen that several people have posted about can openers, box cutters, and chainsaws (seriously?). Yes this is a plug for a commercial product but it works every time, with minimal effort, and is a legitimate answer to the op's question. So seriously if you find yourself opening this type of package once every few months or more then, IMO, this purchase will more than make up for its cost.

I take a box cutter and cut around the edge on the back side, then i can just peel off the back

Might not work on some shapes but a can opener will work most times

I find the can-opener trick to be BS and have always had the most luck using a box cutter pushing down from the top and cutting around the product. Of course, not everyone carries a box cutter with them, but a sharp pocket knife should work as well.

I cut right around the product with a knife

I always cut in the middle part. I cut a circle out of it so it's less dangerous. Then I cut it down the middle and at 90 degree angles on one side. Cutting little bits off is way easier than trying to go right across.

if you /r/EDC you would just use your /r/knives , not because it's the best tool for the job, but because it's right there in your pocket already.

tl;dr My Spyderco knife.

Tin snips always seem to do the trick for me, but I also have a pair or really strong scissors too.

can opener, or snip up the sides without trying to go across. once you get 2 sides clear, it'll rip open with ease

Request they open it at the store for you. If they're going to sell it to you, they should at least make it functional for you.
