New line of shipping and postal scales

The new, affordable family of BC shipping scales offers reliability, flexible communication and added-value applications for retail shipping stores, sorting stations, warehouse shipping docks and warehouse packing stations.

Rugged, the scales include a configuration wizard for easy installation of generic scale models without the need for a service technician or calibration. Their intuitive interface displays easy-to-navigate options for enhanced scale performance, including selection of multiple languages and various global approvals.

Multiple standard communication functions include serial, USB, virtual serial and keyboard wedge; Ethernet and Bluetooth capabilities can be specified as an option.

Now a single scale can be used for letters, letter packs or parcels. BC Scales offer rugged and reliable operation with excellent flexibility. They are perfect for offices, mailrooms, warehouse packing stations, shipping departments and retail parcel stores.

BC scales are simple and intuitive to operate with a new graphical display and easy-to-use menu. They seamlessly connect to PC-based carrier manifesting or shipping software for easy data management.

Communicating scale minimizes operator mistakes in typing in the weight to the manifest software for determination of the shipping price. Typos can equate to Millions of Dollars lost or loss of integrity with customer if over charged.
