Police responded to Excelligence Learning Corporation at 6700 Stuart Ave. just before 11 a.m. The Jacksonville Fire-Rescue Hazmat team was also called to the area.
Police said the package had markings on the outside that led them to believe it may have been dangerous.
The business was evacuated, and Stuart Avenue was blocked off until just after 12:30 p.m.
The business does not involve children, and only makes products for schools.
