How to choose a letterbox plaque
Picking the right letterbox plaque in Switzerland comes down to the model, the material and the text.
Match the model
Swiss letterboxes are made by specific brands — Kehrer, Givel, Stebler, Meyer and more — and each takes a plate of a set size. The safest route is to send a photo of your box; we identify the exact model that fits.
Pick a material
Brass and stainless steel look premium and last outdoors; anodised aluminium is lighter and better value; black acrylic gives a crisp modern look. All are weather-rated.
Keep the text legible
One or two lines is plenty — a family name, or a name plus apartment number. The designer auto-fits the text and shows the price instantly.
