Mail brick
A "mail brick" is a type of postal service delivery container used in the United States. It is a rectangular box made of durable materials, typically metal or plastic, designed to hold a large quantity of mail and packages.
Mail bricks are used by postal carriers to transport and deliver mail and packages to customers. They are typically used for bulk mailings, such as large volumes of letters, flats, and packages, and are often used in conjunction with other postal equipment, such as mail carts and trucks.
Some common features of mail bricks include:
- Large capacity: Mail bricks can hold a significant amount of mail and packages, making them ideal for bulk mailings.
- Durable construction: Mail bricks are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use and handling, and are typically made of durable materials such as metal or plastic.
- Easy to load and unload: Mail bricks often have features such as handles, wheels, and compartments that make it easy for postal carriers to load and unload mail and packages.
- Secure closure: Mail bricks often have secure closures, such as latches or locks, to prevent mail and packages from falling out during transport.
Mail bricks are an important part of the postal service, as they help to efficiently and effectively deliver mail and packages to customers.
