Just do what Canada Post does, which is nothing and make sure the barrel is sticking out.

See if you can reverse the box so the ink is on the inside and it shows plain cardboard outside, then lots of duct tape.

Brown paper, then clear packaging tape over the whole box. Im on the west coadt and ship shit to the east coast all the time and vice versa.

Wrap it in another box or in those thick paper yard clipping bags from Home Depot

I use law bags that I put the logo side in to wrap all parcels.

  1. It's a double layer bag so added protection.
  2. It's like $1.00 for a bag so I dont mind the packaging.

Butchers paper, Then a 100% coverage wrap of packing tape. Typed up address, then 100% coverage of that with packing tape... then hit the edges again with packing tape.

Turn the box inside out. Its the easiest.

Most wrapping paper is only decorated on one side, so just turn it inside and have the white side facing out.

I also like to tape over the label. Reduces the chance of anything smudging or tearing the address.
