  • The rise in online shopping has created a demand for secure parcel storage solutions that can accommodate multiple, larger parcels without sacrificing style. Research from Finder (March 2025) revealed that 21% of Australians (approximately 4.2 million people) experienced parcel theft in the past 12 months. The challenge was to design a letterbox that addressed the growing need for greater storage capacity and security, while still maintaining a sleek, compact, and visually appealing design that would seamlessly integrate into a variety of home styles.

  • The Noosa Extra Wide meets the growing need for secure, larger parcel storage with a design that enhances both functionality and style. Offering a 27% increase in storage capacity and the ability to receive parcels 58% larger than the original Noosa, the design maximises space while only increasing the letterbox size by 25%. Key features include a spacious internal compartment, a secure locking mechanism to prevent theft, and 7 colour options to complement Australian homes. Refined through testing and customer feedback, the final design provides a modern, secure, and aesthetically pleasing solution for the modern home owner.

  • The Noosa Extra Wide has a positive impact commercially, environmentally, and societally. From the initial design phase to testing, Milkcan ensured the product is high-quality, affordable, and built to last, minimising the need for replacements. The larger parcel storage reduces the need for multiple delivery trips and post office visits, saving time and reducing emissions. Its secure design offers homeowners peace of mind, while the packaging ensures safe delivery across Australia with minimal waste. This thoughtful design not only meets the needs of today’s online shoppers but also supports sustainable delivery practices and contributes to a reduction in environmental impact.

  • Milkcan customers value the Noosa Extra Wide for its enhanced security, everyday convenience, and modern aesthetic, while local postmen and couriers appreciate its intuitive, user-friendly design. Thoughtfully engineered to meet a broad range of functional and ergonomic needs, the Noosa Extra Wide features an anti-theft parcel floor that automatically secures deliveries once placed inside - preventing access from the outside and offering reliable protection. It is theft-resistant and designed to securely receive mail, parcels, and satchels of varying sizes. Constructed from galvanised steel with a zinc coating and a durable powder coat finish, it is built to withstand the harsh Australian climate and resist rust over time. Ergonomics were also a key focus, with the key lock positioned at an optimal height to reduce the need for bending - making parcel retrieval more comfortable and accessible for all users.
