Rip off the label and put it with your burn pile.
Or you could use a wallpaper scoring tool to shred it on the box.
Most high volume printing (like shipping labels) is done with thermal printers where the heat turns chemicals on the paper black. These chemicals usually can withstand water but not alcohol so spraying with pure alcohol and wiping off usually will blank the paper entirely.
I peel the label off, put the sticky sides together and shred it. If it comes off in parts I just stick those to other documents that will be shredded as well, and shred. The trick is to not gum up your shredder. And remember to oil it often.
I just put a bunch of them under tap water for a few seconds and squeeze them into a ball.
How do you deal with those labels that want to tear themselves into ribbons? This is part of the reason I leave them on the box and heat them in place.
Not sure what kind of labels you mean... If a label doesn't come off simply by tearing it off, I take a small knife and cut out the part with my personal data.
I use a box cutter to to cut a shallow square around the label, then tear it off. It’s much easier than peeling it off with your fingers.
Does a clothes iron get hot enough? Since it can make direct contact it might work better
Why didn't anyone mention burning it to ashes?
