Suggesting for label blacking? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Rip off the label and put it with your burn pile.

Or you could use a wallpaper scoring tool to shred it on the box.
