Weight Calculator
Know the weight before the postage.
What it does
Estimate finished mailpiece weight from stock, finished size, and sheet count, so class and postage planning start from a real number.
Why it matters
Weight decides class eligibility and price. Estimating it up front avoids designing a piece that prices into a bracket you did not budget for.
How to use it
- Pick the stock or enter a GSM
- Enter the finished size
- Set the sheet count
