The Post Box

Creating a professional environment is essential when setting up or revamping an office space. For example, colour is incredibly important. The instinctive reactions your staff are likely to have to particular colours (e.g. red means danger) will help you to choose the colour tones and shades most conducive to your particular work environment. We had a chat with a design expert; she suggested (for the regular office environment) using warm colours in the foreground (e.g. desks, chairs) and cool colours in the background (e.g. walls, doors) to enhance the perception of depth and welcoming warmth in the central work areas.

But the professional touch isn’t just about paint shades and seat choice. The right building accessories can help to create a fruitful atmosphere. Bespoke options such as mail boxes (we can help there!), space-specific storage (an office full of files and mess looks unprofessional) and company logo-bearing accessories help to cement the integrity of your brand with both employees and clients.

One of our favourite finishing touches is letter box engraving and labelling. We offer both full laser engraving (engraving on the letter box flap or door itself) and steel plate engraving (to affix in place of the Perspex name plate) options on most of our commercial mail boxes (excluding the “Trent” and “Ouse” multi occupancy mail boxes)

Choosing the right peripheral finishing touches to enhance the productivity, professional impression and overall operational integrity of your office is easier than you might think. Start today by browsing through our huge range of mailboxes (and perhaps thinking up a new colour scheme for the office!)

Many smaller businesses these days operate from serviced offices, or even virtual offices.  A serviced office tends to be in a building that has been specifically converted, or even constructed just to house lots of offices and workspaces of different sizes so that tenants can just rent the space they need.  A serviced office will generally have a reception and receptionists, and often offer back up secretarial services for the clients.  A virtual office is generally just a mailing address that gives the embryonic starter company an image of being established at a prestigious address; one thing that both offer is somewhere for your business post to be delivered.

However, if you are developing a serviced or virtual office, or indeed renting one, you may be interested to know that one thing that the people renting them do not like is the ‘pigeon-hole’ method of mailboxes.  This is when, rather than having a secure individual mail box for your post to be delivered to, it is put into open wall-mounted post boxes for you to collect.  This offers no security for your post and it is too easy for someone to take it by mistake, or by design.  The only way to make sure that your post is safe is if you have an individual locked box for which only you have the key.

Here at Mailbox Mania we specialise in selling all manner of mail boxes for internal and external use and have the perfect mail boxes for both multi-tenancy business properties and domestic properties.
