I have had the great fortune of borrowing a heat gun which worked very well and the careful use of mineral spirits and a clean cloth have removed what was left with no damage to the box.

I usually use a hair dryer to remove stickers, patiently peel off and a little spirit will remove the residue (-:

Heat, then if you need a little help, naphtha. I peel as I'm heating because the glue will reach a point where it releases from the box  but if it gets too hot, it will release from the paper and stick to the box.

+1 for a hairdryer. You couldd also try using a pencil eraser to gently rub off any residue.

Naw, just yankin' yer chain. Like wormil said, I like heat, then Naphta as it tends to evaporate quickly and not damage the finish on the box
