If you're concerned about safeguarding your personal information, you may want to remove shipping labels from cardboard boxes you receive. But how can you accomplish this quickly and cleanly? Fear not, our guide will demonstrate the quickest and easiest way to remove address labels from your packages.
Steps
Procure some nail polish remover, preferably in a 'nail polish remover' pen for convenient application. Alternatively, pour some into a plastic bottle designed for moistening envelopes (commonly found in most dollar stores). Nail polish remover may be acetone or non-acetone - both will suffice. Alternatively, apply some on a cotton swab or napkin.
This technique is effective for almost any type of professional address label commonly used. It can even remove black marker writing on boxes.
Dispose of that box with confidence!
