Frequently Asked Questions
Our decals are easy to apply and can be done by yourself. We include an instruction sheet with step by step instructions on how to successfully apply it to your mailbox. We also have a short video on our FAQs page that will walk you through the application process.
Your decal will be masked and ready for you apply. They are applied as a single piece to your mailbox without any background or clear border. Simply peel the backing sheet off and stick to your mailbox. Once applied, only the decal lettering will remain on your box.

We offer both a standard and large size. The standard size is 5.5x11.2”, the numbers are approximately 2” tall and the lettering is approximately 1” tall. If you have a larger sized mailbox, the large size is 7.5x16.5”. The numbers are approximately 3” tall and the lettering is approximately 1.5-2” tall.

Yes, we can fit a long address into the design you choose.

We offer both single and double sided options for both the standard and large size decal.
Your order will come with a smaller corresponding number for the front door of your mailbox.

If you have a mailbox with any texture, we recommend using a spray clear sealer, such as Krylon, on your mailbox. The sealer will smooth over the texture and help the decal stick easily.
We do not recommend using a clear sealer after the decal is applied.

Our standard sized mailbox decal will come in a white photo mailer envelope. Our large sized mailbox decals come in a small brown shipping tube.

Yes, we offer a reflective white option for all of our street address decal designs.
The biggest thing to keep in mind while applying the decal is that the surface needs to be very clean. Ensure the surface is dry before application and always use your test sample (the small black heart) to be sure the surface is ready for application and that you understand the application process. The vinyl adhesive is pressure activated, so be sure to apply significant pressure by using either a wooden spoon, spatula, or plastic credit card. Once the decal is adhered to the mailbox it should stay for many years.
The vinyl we use is rated for 3+ years of outdoor exposure. Direct sunlight, snow, or cold weather will not affect the life of your decal.

We are happy to design custom sizes. Feel free to send us a message on our site or email at: hello@back40life.com
Beautiful, classy, and fits perfectly on our mailbox! Thank you!!
The replacement front-of-box numbers finally arrived—they solved the problem seen in first set of misaligned numerals. Thanks. (This amends my previous feedback)
used the small version - easy to apply
Just as they promised and easy to apply.
Very pleased with the product. Easy to apply the decals and they look great on our new mailbox. I saw a review that said the reflective white decals are not white, but a dark gray. Not true. The back of the decal is a little dark, but once applied, the visible side is white and works well on our dark bronze mailbox.
