Addressing the mailing label

I'm mailing packages today and can't remember; can you put a return address on the package? Can I write "To: Connections....." and "From: Minde Hankins", etc?
I remember they are really specific about how to make the label!
Thank you!

The very best way to do it is by printing it off from the USPS website.
www.usps.com
This way it will already have a scan-able bar code and it will be the way their scanners read labels.
Otherwise send it:
JANE DOE
C/O CONNECTIONS
PO BOX 37
ST JOHN VI 00831-0037
With your regular return address
JANE DOE
123 MAIN STREET
ANYWHERE US 00000

This gave me a chuckle..... We sent 4 pieces (3 suit cases & 1 box) to STX in June, via USPS(we were going to be there for 3 wks)...three arrived as expected. Oh, that fourth...disappeared almost completely. We finally contacted the lost mail thingy in Georgia. To my surprise, I got a call to see if I had filed a claim...YES!! What was in the suitcase? Oh, I replied, two toss pillows, a table cloth (matched my new 3' x 4'painting of "Moko Jumbies"), a lg box of Q-tips, and, oh ya, 3 painted metal gecko's for the gallery.....the guy promptly said, "IT'S YOURS", we'll send it on down to STX. The label was totally gone, including the return address!!!! A very happy ending!!!
