Commercial mailboxes are as vital now as ever. With all the advances in technology in today’s world, nothing has replaced the need or importance of commercial mailboxes.
Commercial mailboxes come in a number of sizes. So how big does your mailbox really need to be?
Keep reading to learn about the ideal mailbox dimensions for your business.
Ideal Dimensions For Modern Commercial Mailboxes
1. Pedestal Mailboxes
Freestanding pedestal style commercial mailboxes are typically available in single and double-wide units. These are ideal for private mail delivery, including USPS and other private delivery services.
Because pedestal mailboxes are mounted on a pole directed into the ground, they can be installed almost anywhere. Thus there’s no need for a wall to mount on.
Pedestal mailboxes are often best for high-traffic areas, such as an apartment complex with a common area. They come in a variety of sizes, with different amounts of doors, and are able to be used by groups of all sizes.
2. Apartment Mailboxes
Apartment mailboxes are great for apartments because they mount directly to walls and thus save space in areas where space is limited.
These boxes are typically grouped in one large box within one large metal frame, with each of the doors belonging to a single renter. This serves as a great space saver.
Apartment mailboxes come with locks to ensure that only the tenant and the postal service worker have access to the mailbox. This helps prevent stolen mail.
For apartment complexes without a common area, boxes with only one door can often be more appropriate. This allows the renter to simply grab their mail on the way to their apartment door.
3. Cluster Mailbox Units
Cluster mailbox units are a becoming a familiar sight in residential neighborhoods.
The USPS is starting to require them in more and more newly constructed subdivisions rather than putting a single box outside each home.
Cluster mailboxes can be installed on a pedestal or on a wall, though pedestal mounted boxes are more convenient because they can be mounted almost anywhere.
4. Parcel Lockers
The next type of commercial mailbox we want to discuss is the parcel locker. These are only used for longer, wider packages that won’t fit in a small mailbox.
A parcel locker can be installed as a stand-alone unit or clustered within a single frame with smaller boxes. These are ideal for apartment complexes to prevent package theft. And as with all the commercial mailboxes we’ve discussed, parcel lockers are lock-and-key units.
Conclusion
Commercial mailboxes are a useful and familiar part of residential life, and they will be around for as long as mail is being delivered.
