Which term means the weight of everything?

• A. Net weight
• B. Packing
• C. Gross weight
• D. Tare weight

Answer: (C)

Gross weight represents the total weight of the item as it is, including everything that comes with it—product, packaging, container, and any pallets or packing materials. This is the weight of everything together. Net weight is just the weight of the product itself, without packaging. Tare weight is the weight of the packaging or container on its own, which you subtract from the gross weight to arrive at the net. Packing refers to the packaging materials themselves, not the overall combined weight. Therefore, the term that means the weight of everything is gross weight.
