How to Remove Labels From a Shipping Box

Step 1

Using a [scotty peeler], slide the thin metal corner under one of the corners of the label.

Step 2

Slowly work the scotty peeler across to the next nearest corner of the label to detach a pullable flap.

Step 3

Pull the flap across itself at a smooth and consistent pace, until the entire label has been pulled off the box. If you pull too hard too fast you may rip the pull tab off and have to start over with the scotty peeler.

Final Result

And just like that, your box is now label-free and ready to be reused for a new shipment!
