Adhesive mailbox numbers can be custom sized to fit your mailbox. Typically, 4 inch address numbers are used so your house number can be viewed from 50 feet by moving traffic. You should check with your local fire department or Homeowner's Association to see what they recommend. Our number stickers can be custom cut to fit your mailbox plaque. The more numbers in the address then the wider the sticker will be. Thus, many residents will attach a smaller size for their street name.

Mailbox Numbers FAQ's

  • Do I need to put address numbers on my mailbox?

    Mail carriers will not deliver mail to a home that does not have an address number displayed on the mailbox. Depending on the size of your mailbox surface, you can also include the street name or even your family name. If your mailbox is located on a different street from your house or apartment, it is important to put your full street address on the box.

  • What size mailbox numbers are required?

    Mailbox numbers must be a minimum of one inch tall. However, we highly recommend using 3-inch address numbers so that your house number can be easily viewed from 50 feet by moving traffic. It is advisable to check with your local fire department or Homeowner's Association to see their recommended size for mailbox numbers.

  • How to apply mailbox numbers?

    To prepare your surface, wipe it clean using an alcohol-based cleaner. Once the surface is properly prepared, position your sheet of numbers on your mailbox where you want them to be. Then, apply a strip of masking tape at the top of your custom vinyl graphic to ensure it stays in place during application. Flip over the decal and hold the bottom edge of the graphic away from the mailbox surface. Remove the wax liner to expose the sticky vinyl backing. Utilize the free squeegee included in your package to press the vinyl letters onto your mailbox, moving from top to bottom in a windshield wiper motion. Finally, remove the top layer of paper, and voila! Your address numbers are now on your mailbox.

  • How to remove mailbox numbers?

    Mix one cup of water with about 10 drops of dishwashing liquid. Spray the lettering and use a clean, sharp scraper - preferably a plastic scraper. A painter's heat gun can also help start the lettering to peel away from the surface, but keep it moving so you don't damage the mailbox surface. Hold the scraper as flat as possible to avoid gouging your mailbox surface. Once you start a corner of the old address numbers, try using your fingers to pull it off. You may need to repeat this step if the old vinyl letter tears. Then use a solvent such as Goo Gone to clean away the old adhesive. Acetone also works but be sure to clean it away quickly to avoid damage to the surface of your mailbox.

  • Where do you put the numbers on a mailbox?

    In order for your mail carrier to easily see the numbers while approaching your home, it is important to position the address numbers on the front or flag side of the mailbox. If you prefer, you can also fill the side of your mailbox with larger letters. However, please ensure that the vinyl letters do not obstruct the opening of the mailbox door. To assist you with this, we provide two sets of vinyl lettering - one for each side of your mailbox.
