For individuals and companies who mail multiple packages daily, having a shipping scale can save time. It eliminates trips to the post office, weighing packages accurately so users can print and apply labels at home or in the office. Postal scales come in many sizes with several features that make easy work of the mailing process. Staples carries many models from brands like American Weigh and DYMO.

Consider the use of the Machine
One of the most important considerations for purchasing a shipping scale is to ensure that it's capable of standing up to the demands of your mailing needs. Depending on the model, a scale can weigh packages ranging from up to 25 pounds for a small needs company to over 5,000 pounds for a commercial or manufacturing plant that consistently ships large packages or weighs pallets.

While most units have a fixed digital screen that showcases the weight down to the ounce, some have a removable display that makes it easier to weigh large boxes and still maintain visibility. They connect to the base with a special cord and can be handheld or mounted on a wall.

Connect to a Computer to use Shipping Services
While some shipping scales work independently with an AC adapter or batteries, others connect to a computer with a USB cable. This makes easy work of integrating the unit with popular shipping clients such as DYMO and InstaRate. Those in charge of shipping can also connect to UPS and FedEx software to create an all-in-one solution that streamlines the process.

What are the Benefits to Having a Shipping Scale?
Shipping scales are designed to accurately measure packages within a specified percentage, which helps to eliminate a trip to the post office or shipping center. Users can input the weight and create labels using a printer in-house and schedule a pickup. It makes a good solution for home businesses, offices or warehouses that have hefty mailing needs.

How do you Choose the Right Shipping Scale for Your Needs?
It's important to consider your mailing needs before purchasing one. Offices who send out a lot of envelopes and brochures will suffice with a smaller unit with a lower weight class, but manufacturing plants, warehouses and those who run busy home businesses could benefit from a larger model. Also consider the power capability and whether you need to connect it to a computer and shipping software, as not all units come with a USB interface. Additionally, choose a model that works best for your setting. Some have a bench design while others easily fit on a desk or countertop.

What are Some Advanced Features to Consider?
Each shipping scale is different but there are a myriad of features to consider. Some have a freeze display option, which keeps the weight of the package on the screen even after you've removed it from the scale. A tare option lets you weigh products directly, exclusive of packaging, which can help with inventory and pricing out shipping costs for a website as well.

A scale can help ease office and home mailing tasks, letting you create labels without having to visit a store or shipping center. Shop Staples to find the best model for your needs today.
