Overview of Imperial Components
To design a custom package, simply choose a mailbox post, address number plate, and a standard or estate-sized mailbox. An easily-mounted newspaper holder is a valuable option to keep your daily editions safe and dry. Beyond your mailbox system, Imperial offers street signs, street lamps, and address plaques to perfectly compliment your chosen package.
Selecting Your Imperial Systems Post
Imperial posts boast superior style and function, containing a sturdy base, decorative pole, and grand finial. They are engineered using extruded aluminum for durability, offering a strong foundation for your mailbox. Each post is expertly crafted using the same cast-aluminum and powder-coating processes as the entire Imperial line.
Imperial Systems Posts, compatible with Imperial's Decorative Mailboxes 0-9, are as follows:

Coordinating Lamp Posts
A perfectly coordinated eight-foot lamp post can be selected to illuminate your personal mailbox system or your entire community project. Studies show that a well-lit mailbox is less likely to be burglarized than one without any lighting. Browse Imperial's stunning collection of lighting options from our Lamps, Signs & Plaques Page.
