Label 228 is a sticker issued by the United States Postal Service for labeling Priority Mail packages with a mailing address. Label 228 is available free of charge at all USPS Post Office locations or delivered by mail when ordered online.[1]
Due to the widespread availability of Label 228, and the relatively large areas of blank space within the design, it has been widely used in sticker art and graffiti more commonly known as "slaps". Unlike many other stickers and labels, Label 228 is free, and can be acquired in large quantities. It can be drawn on using many different artistic media, including acrylic paints and simple pencils, as well as inkjet and laser printers. They can also be applied to many surfaces very quickly, reducing the risk of being caught.[2]
