Designing The Perfect Mailroom

By Steven Lyndhurst Smith

If you run either a courier service or some kind of fast mail operation, and you have been operating out of the same place for a long time, then there is every chance that you will want to re-design your mailroom. With new technologies coming out on what feels like a daily basis and new equipment available at similar prices to what you would have bought your old equipment for, who wouldn't want to redesign their mailroom?

When we talk of a mailroom design, there are certain specifications that need to be adhered to which an expert in the field is sure to know. Their experience on creating some of the best mailrooms needs to be looked at before fixing a deal with them.

One of the first features of a mailroom is the different shelves or boxes that the mail is stored in to effectively segregate mail according to their given categories. Then there are the larger pieces of furniture to take into account like the desks and other equipment (photocopiers etc.) the placement of these needs to be carefully deliberated according to the space available and the measurements of the room.

It is believed that the overall effectiveness and smooth-running of a mail operation is dependant on how carefully planned out the layout of your mailroom is, and in turn, the quality of the designer you choose. You should make sure that the designer you choose is in high demand and busy as it will be the busier designers who will provide the best service. The equipment you choose for your mailroom is also a key factor in the overall functionality of it.

In general providing the mailroom equipment is also a part of getting a quote on a mailroom design that you want to renovate your existing place into. The equipment includes acoustic screen, label printers, labels, mail sacks and holders, envelope openers and sealers, storage and mail boxes. All of these are again available in a varying quality. According to your needs and budget you could choose on the right equipment for your mail service. - 29941
