Label 228

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".

According to Cooper, graffiti artists switched to Priority Mail labels because of their large size, broad availability, and stickiness.

Label 228 also provided opportunities for commentary on the government, although some artists remove the USPS logos for the opposite effect.

[2] Label 228 was redesigned in December 2023 with slight typography changes and the position of the logo and Priority Mail elements were swapped.
