Re: removing box labels from manuscript boxes



I'm not sure there is anything you could use to remove the label that
wouldn't adversely affect the acid content of the box if that is of concern
to you, but acetone (nail polish remover) or a commercial product called
tolual of tolueen (those are phonetic spellings) will do the job.
Alternately, I just put new labels over the old ones.

Subject: removing box labels from manuscript boxes


Hello:

Does anyone know of an easy and efficient way of removing old box labels
from manuscript boxes so that the boxes can be re-used?

Thanks.
