Steeped in history

A staple of the Irish community since 1922, the An Post green postboxes can be found all over the country in different shapes and sizes. Probably the most recognisable is the cylindrical pillar box which is synonymous with sending post and connecting with loved ones around the country.

Keeping traditions alive

The older lamp boxes, often seen attached to telegraph poles in rural areas, are a great way to keep with the valued tradition of sending letters to loved ones. You might even be lucky enough to have a rare Penfold hexagonal letter box near you, making it even more special to send thoughts of love to those dear to you.

Still contemporary

Or maybe your local post box is a wall box, set into your city walls. Or a more contemporary pedestal box, making it easy to send larger tokens of love with its wider opening.

Sending Love is easier than ever

Maybe someone you know has recently become engaged or married. Perhaps they’ve got a new job or bought a new home. Sending them a handwritten card or heartfelt note through your local letter box is the perfect way to keep connected and let them know you’re thinking of them. Bringing someone joy is just one postbox away, so why not send love now.
