The manufacturer produces a variety of covers, most of which are made of metal or concrete covers surrounded by a metal frame (mainly for Israel Post ).
The shape of the covers is round , rectangular , elliptical , or square with rounded corners .
Round covers intended for sidewalks are usually surrounded by a square frame to facilitate paving work (in fact, almost all square covers made by the manufacturer fall into this category).

City emblems appear on a significant portion of the covers , sometimes covering almost the entire surface of the cover .
