More in physical privacy space than the usual post. Whenever I get mail, I shred it before disposal. Whenever I get a package, I black out the label.
But my method for blacking out the labels is basically turning on the gas range and holding the label over it until it turns black. It’s not even that good of a method, because I can still see a black-on-black print.
So, I’m wondering if anyone has any better ideas for this sort of thing.
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.
