Abstract
A system and method for labeling lids for utility access boxes using a receiver cast into the lid where the receiver has receiving slots with snap tabs for receiving cantilever arms on a name plate to affix the nameplate to the lid of the utility access box. Alternatively, receiving slots with snap tabs can be integrated in the lid for receiving cantilever arms on a nameplate to affix the nameplate to the lid of the utility access box without the need for a separate receiver.
