Which weight term describes the weight of the product only?

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

Answer: (B)

Net weight is the weight of the product itself, excluding any packaging or container. This is what you see reported on labels to show how much product you’re getting, without counting the packaging. For example, if a jar weighs 600 g in total but the jar itself weighs 50 g, the net weight of the product is 550 g. Gross weight would include the packaging (600 g in this example), tare weight is the weight of the packaging alone (50 g), and packing refers to the packaging material itself.
