Even if it takes a while to install the Dust crystals, the point still stands that if her weapon was a staff, she could just put it on her back like everyone else does with their weapons.

Monty said he'll "try to fit" the weapon in the box. There would be literally no point in folding up a staff to stick it in a box. Sun folds his staff/nunchucks and puts it on his back.

Ruby folds up her scythe and puts it on her back. Blake puts her sword on her back. Nora folds her hammer into grenade launcher form and puts it on her back. Pyrrha stores her spear and shield on her back. Neptune folds his trident into its gun form and puts it on his back.

If her weapon was a staff, it would not be in the box. We would actually see it because she would keep it on her back or something. Even if she couldn't or didn't want to use the Dust crystals in it, she could use it as a melee weapon, rather than having to kick the Grimm.
