To convert the scale drawing from a scale factor of 1 box = 6 inches to a scale factor of 1 box = 12 inches, we multiply the length in the scale drawing by the ratio of the new scale factor to the old scale factor.
The new scale factor is 12/6 = 2.
The length in the new drawing is 10 * 2 = <<10*2=20>>20 boxes.
Therefore, the length of the boxes in the new drawing will be 20 inches. Answer: \boxed{20}.
