►How to put the address label on a standard package
You’ll need plastic tape and two packaging labels. Bear in mind if you use the wrong label or a damaged one, your shipment could be delayed.  

Step 1: Place one shipping label inside the package. If the outer label falls off, your carrier can use the one inside.

Step 2: Make sure the package is sealed properly by using the H-taping method

Step 3: Attach the second label to the outside of the package. Don’t place it on the corners and seams and make sure there’s nothing covering the label like tape.

►How to label a tube or bucket
When labeling these type of items, make sure you attach the label to the largest flat side. The label should be clearly visible and securely placed on the item – that way it won’t easily come off during transportation.
