any box is good just make sure you put the mailing address on all sides of it and it's a sturdy box.

If the presents are already in a box you don't need to buy another box. Just make sure everything inside is intact and packed well to avoid damage in shipping, and that the box itself is completely sealed. Probably wouldn't hurt to put brown paper around the box, and make sure your return address is clearly marked.

Any box is just fine, but they do have a rule against writing other than the address. So if your box has other labels, etc...on it, they might not be too happy. What I do to get around this is brown paper bag it! I wrap my box in a brown paper bag as if I am wrapping a gift - secure with packing tape and it looks nice and crisp and clean. Perfect.

You can ship in just about anything. Just make sure you use clear packing tape and tape all the edges and seams so it won't bust open in transit. Also if the box is printed just tape a piece of white paper on it and print the address on that so it is clearly readable. That will help so it will have less chances of getting lost. Another tip, I put clear packing tape over the address that way if it accidentally gets wet it won't smudge the address.

My mom mailed me alot of stuff since I moved a few years ago to my new location with my Spouse. She used any box so just put the info and ship it off.

You can use any box as long as with the packing popcorn that the packages will fit in and still be safe to ship them.

Make sure the box is secure and print the destination on it and it should be fine.
