Commercial Laundry Scales
If you bill by the pound, the scale is a revenue instrument and the rules are different. Anything used to price a customer transaction generally has to be legal-for-trade certified, which most cheap platform scales are not.

Legal-for-trade versus general purpose
In the US, a scale used to determine the price a customer pays generally needs NTEP certification and periodic verification by your state's weights and measures authority. A general-purpose scale is fine for internal production tracking and not for billing. Confirm the requirement with your state before buying.
Capacity and resolution
For wash-and-fold, 300 to 500 lb capacity with 0.2 lb resolution covers almost every operation. Higher capacity costs resolution, so do not oversize.
