Digital Package Scale: Aiding Convenient Logistics

With the development of technology, people frequently shop online ranging from large household appliances to small hair ties, continuously driving the development of the logistics industry. So, how to weigh a package in the logistics industry, and by what method?

Manual Weighing

The most direct method is to use professional weighing equipment to weigh the package. Before weighing, it is usually necessary to prepare a blank weighing slip and ensure only the package itself is on the scale, excluding any additional items (such as packaging materials).

Using Naikesi's Digital Package Scale

Steps:

• Place the digital package scale on a stable surface, ensuring the scale surface is clean and free of debris.

• Turn on the digital package scale, wait for the display to stabilize, and then gently place the package on the scale surface.

• Carefully observe the display on the digital package scale, which will show the weight of the package.

• After recording or confirming the weight, remove the package from the scale surface.

Features of Naikesi's Digital Package Scale

• Accurate Weight Measurement: The Naikesi digital package scale ensures precise measurement of the weight of various goods, packages, and cargo.

• Load Optimization and Cost Saving: The Naikesi digital package scale allows logistics companies to optimize load based on weight and volume. Proper load distribution ensures efficient use of available space, reducing the number of trips and associated costs. Optimized load also helps save fuel and reduce carbon emissions, promoting sustainable logistics practices.

Precautions:

During the weighing process, avoid shaking or jolting the digital package scale to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.

Volume Weight Calculation

Some logistics companies calculate the weight based on the volume of the package. This method is suitable for large, lightweight items. The formula for calculating volume weight typically involves multiplying the package's length, width, and height, then dividing by a predetermined volume weight conversion factor. If the volume weight is greater than the actual weight, the charge will be based on the volume weight.

Estimated Weight

In some cases, the courier may require the sender to provide an estimated package weight. At this time, the sender needs to estimate a reasonable value based on the total weight of the items in the package. However, this method is not as accurate as actual weighing and may have errors.

Package Weight Calculation Method

The formula for calculating volume weight is: Volume Weight of Mail (kg) = Length (cm) X Width (cm) X Height (cm) / Volume Weight Conversion Factor. The length, width, and height of the mail are calculated based on the maximum dimensions of the external contour of the mail packaging.
