When shipping with usps, does the box have to be wrapped in brown paper?

Question

I am sending a package bought from the store. It comes in it'sown box, but the box is of course covered in product labels. Do I have to wrap it in brown paper or can I use white?? I have white wrapping paper from christmas, will that work or do I have to get new box??

Answer 1

just tear off labels and black out ones you can't tear off. you don't need to wrap it.

Answer 2

I don't cover the boxes I send, with brown paper. I have been asked to black out the bar codes on the manufacturer's label's, if the labels can't be torn off.
