Postage Scales Buyer's Guide

Introduction

Postal scales can help increase mailing efficiency by reducing overpayment on outgoing mail. A good scale will help the typical business save 10% to 15% on postage.

For processing large volumes of mail, you'll probably want a scale that's integrated directly into the rest of your postage system: the postage meter, feeder, sealer, and the like. (For more information on complete postage meter systems, read our Postage Meters Buyer's Guide.) But for small- to medium-sized companies, standalone scales are an affordable way to improve your mailing efficiency.

When choosing a postage scale, it makes sense to have staff members who will be actually using the scale regularly to take a good look at the unit before purchase. They're the ones who know what will work well for the mailing needs of your business and what won't.

This BuyerZone postal scales buyer's guide will describe the types of postage scales available, the various features, and the costs.
