When it comes to shipping packages, proper labeling is crucial to ensure that your items reach their destination safely and on time. Packatape®, a leading packing tape brand, provides expert guidance on how to correctly label your packages for shipping.

1. Use Clear and Legible Handwriting

When writing the recipient's address on the package, make sure to use clear and legible handwriting. This will help prevent any errors or delays in delivery.

2. Include the Sender's Return Address

Always include the sender's return address on the package. In case the package cannot be delivered, having a return address will ensure that it is sent back to the sender.

3. Use Waterproof Labels

Opt for waterproof labels to prevent smudging or fading during transit. Packatape® offers durable packing tape that can securely hold labels in place, even in harsh weather conditions.

5. Double-Check the Information

Before sending off your package, double-check the recipient's address, return address, and any other important information on the label. Accuracy is key to successful delivery.
