Letter and Parcel Scales – Precise Weight Measurement for Your Postal Dispatches

Letter and parcel scales are the right choice for accurately calculating postage costs within your business and preparing consignments for dispatch without errors. Whether you’re sending documents, goods or heavy boxes: with a precise letter scale or parcel scale, you can avoid costly incorrect franking, reduce additional charges and significantly speed up workflows in your mailroom.

The right scale for your post office, office and warehouse

In the Lyreco online shop, you’ll find reliable weighing equipment for every logistics need:

• Digital letter scales: Ideal for daily business post at reception. They offer fine gram graduations to determine the exact postage for standard and compact letters.
• Robust dispatch scales: Perfect for the warehouse or dispatch department. These models have a high load capacity and a large weighing surface for heavy parcels.
• Smart functions: Benefit from practical features such as the tare function (to deduct the weight of the packaging) and the hold function, which locks the weight on the display even if a bulky box obscures the screen.

Avoid unnecessary extra costs when calculating postage! At Lyreco, you can conveniently order your scales online.

Frequently asked questions about postal scales (FAQ)

Question: Which scales are suitable for posting, and how can I calculate the postage correctly?
Answer: For light mail and documents weighing up to 2 or 5 kg, a compact tabletop letter scale is ideal as a precision scale. If you send parcels regularly, we recommend a specialised parcel scale with a separate display, which can easily handle loads of up to 50 kg or more. To calculate the postage correctly, place the packaged item on the scales and check the weight against the current rates of the postal and parcel delivery services.
