House and curb numbers

  • House numbers: the International Fire Code, which many US cities follow, asks for address numbers at least 4 inches (102 mm) tall with strokes at least ½ inch wide, in a color that contrasts with the background. Check your local code; some ask for more.
  • Curb addresses: 3 to 4 inch numbers in black on a white rectangle are the classic look. Paint the white background first, let it dry, then stencil the numbers.
  • Mailboxes: the Postal Service recommends numbers at least 1 inch tall on the mailbox.
  • Parking spaces and fields: use 12 to 24 inch numbers; they print over several pages and tape together.

How to print your address

  1. Choose Your own words and type the house number, then choose Whole words to keep it in one piece.
  2. Set the height, for example 4 inches, and pick a bold font such as Black Ops One or Saira Stencil One for strong strokes.
  3. Print at 100% on card stock, cut out the numbers, and tape the stencil level before painting.

Questions

Which font is best for house numbers?

A bold, simple font reads best from the street: Saira Stencil One, Black Ops One or Big Shoulders Stencil.

Can I print numbers taller than the paper?

Yes. They are split into tiles over several pages with an overlap to tape together.

What paint should I use for a curb?

Exterior concrete or masonry paint, or spray paint made for concrete. Clean the curb well and paint on a dry day.
