| Does the Post Office Allow colored boxes? Does the post office allow colored boxes or boxes wrapped in pretty papers? As long as you have a white label on it? I want my box to be pretty but I don't know what the regulations are

| Yes. As long as its got a shipping label on it, they'll mail almost anything. I used to work for the student PO at Clemson and we got some interesting stuff. One person mailed a letter in an empty Jello box.

| Thanks! I think I'm going to wrap our box in Christmas paper...or at least solid red or something.

| Colored boxes are OK. If you decide to wrap it in paper, you will need to cover the whole thing in packing tape or it will most likely get ripped off on the mail line. Above all make sure your shipping label is visibly apparent and easy to read.

| I wrapped mine in green foil wrapping paper like the fancy boxes so you can take the top off without wrecking it. I'm going to wrap it again in brown shipping paper so it doesn't get ruined and there's no confusion about where it's going.

| The PO will take anything that has a shipping label only thing about putting paper on it, it might be ripped up when it makes it to wherever its going
