A parcel letterbox for an apartment solves a familiar problem: parcels that do not fit through the letter slot and therefore end up lying around in the entrance hall. Letterboxes with a separate parcel compartment exist, designed for multi-occupancy buildings. Below you can see how the WALL and the Nexus Ensemble compare.
In an apartment building, mail and parcels often arrive together at a single entrance. A classic mailbox is made for envelopes, not for a box that needs a parcel compartment. The result is well known: parcels end up on the floor, on the mail table or with a neighbour, and nobody knows exactly who received what.
A parcel mailbox with a separate parcel compartment gives the delivery person a fixed place. Regular mail goes in the letter section, the parcel in the compartment next to it. For residents, that means less searching and less dependence on someone being at home. For the building, it means a calmer entrance, without stacks of boxes.
Accessibility also plays a role in parcel receipt in multi-family buildings. A parcel box in the entrance or on the facade must be reachable for the delivery person without having to go through the entire building. Placement is therefore just as important as the model itself.
The WALL is a built-in mailbox with a separate parcel compartment, intended to be integrated into the wall. As a result, the facade or entrance wall remains visually calm: you only see the front panel, not the entire housing. That makes the WALL suitable for new construction and renovation of apartment buildings where architecture and facade appearance matter.
The WALL is made of aluminium and available in a wide colour palette, with more than 2000 RAL colours, so that the front can match the joinery or form an accent. The parcel compartment allows a delivery person to leave a parcel without it lying around in the entrance. For the exact dimensions of the parcel compartment and the installation depth, we refer to the specifications of the model at an authorised sales point.
Because the WALL sits in the wall, placement is a point of attention at the start of a project. Consider the thickness of the wall, the height at which the front is positioned and the passage for the delivery person. It is best to make these choices together with the architect or contractor before the structural work is completed.
Where the WALL is more of an individual built-in solution, the Nexus Ensemble is a mailbox block that groups several mailboxes and parcel compartments. That is exactly what an apartment building with multiple units needs: one clearly organised whole in the entrance, instead of separate boxes standing around haphazardly.
A mailbox block in a multi-family building brings order to parcel receipt. Each resident has their own letter section, and the parcel compartments are grouped so that a delivery person can operate them in one movement. The Nexus Ensemble is built from aluminium elements and can be finished in a coordinated colour, so that the block fits with the entrance or the facade.
Here too, the right configuration depends on the number of units, the available space and the way the mail is distributed. An authorised sales point can advise you on the arrangement and on whether a combination lock per compartment makes sense for your building.

A parcel letterbox for an apartment is a letterbox with a separate parcel compartment, so that parcels that do not fit through the slot can be left safely in the entrance hall. Such models exist, such as the WALL built-in letterbox and the Nexus Ensemble, a letterbox unit for multiple residents in a multi-occupancy building.
