My BRIEF google search provides no formal name, but I like interlocking flaps myself.

I did find this reddit post from 6 years ago asking

You either discover a star or you don't. You arrogant punk.

When I managed a shipping warehouse we just called it "Quick Boxing" as in "I quick boxed that package we need to send to Cincinnati...". Don't know if there exists an official term but seeing as it allows for one to quickly access a sealed box, this is what we used.
