1. Create custom labels for professional packages

There’s nothing as drab as a plain, boring shipping box. So why send your products out to customers in them? Make sure your packages represent the quality of what’s inside with attractive custom labeling using Avery Shipping Labels. Start with free templates on Avery Design & Print Online, upload your logo and add your messaging. Your customized labels can transform ordinary shipping boxes and make a great impression with your customers.

2. Reuse old boxes and make them look like new

When you ship your packages using Avery Shipping Labels with TrueBlock™ Technology, there’s no worry about distracting labels or marks that may make it difficult to read your shipping information. These labels are guaranteed to cover up existing labels, old markings and everything underneath—so you can reuse boxes, mailing tubes and padded envelopes. Not only will your packages look good, but your information will also be easy to read.

3. Get that “printed right on the box” look

Large businesses may have the budget to create custom printed boxes, but you can create that same look without breaking the bank. Give your shipping boxes a custom-printed look. These brown labels blend right onto cardboard, so logos, company names and addresses appear as if printed right on the box.
