Where should I place mailbox numbers?

Mailbox numbers should be placed either under the flag on your mailbox or to the right of your flag. Ideally your mailbox flag should not cover your numbers.

Mailbox numbers should at least be placed on the flag side of your mailbox. Ideally both sides as well as the front of your mailbox will have your number.

House-mounted mailboxes should have the house or apartment number located clearly on the front of the mailbox or on the lid.

What size should my mailbox numbers be?

USPS stipulates that mailbox numbers be at least 1” tall. We recommend using numbers taller than 1” when space on your mailbox allows for it. Visibility increases as you use larger numbers.
