What are the gross and net weights of a shipment?
What are the gross and net weights of a shipment?
Gross and net weights are published per item so you can plan freight, insurance and unloading without waiting for a packing list. The table below is representative of the current range; confirm the figure against the exact version you order.
Item | Gross weight | Net weight | Note |
white aluminium armchair | 28.2 kg (6-chair carton) | 23.7 kg (6-chair carton) | about 3.95 kg net per chair |
| white round tube armchair | 17 kg | 15 kg | |
extendable table | 45.5 kg | 39.5 kg | |
| 5-piece set | 84 kg (B1) / 80 kg (B2) / 64 kg (C1) / 68 kg (C2, D1) | 74 kg (B1) / 70 kg (B2) / 63 kg (C1) / 63 kg (C2, D1) | multi-configuration |
| 4-piece set | 71 kg per set | 66 kg per set | |
| 6-piece corner set | 90 kg | 85 kg |
- A: How to read the figures - The gap between gross and net is the carton and internal packing, so the gross figure is the one to use for freight and manual handling.
- B: Multi-configuration lines - On multi-configuration lines the weight follows the configuration, as shown, so confirm the weight against the version you are ordering.
Gross and net weights
Net weight is the product alone; gross weight adds the carton and protective packing. We list both on the packing list so your forwarder can quote freight and your warehouse can plan handling.
Why it matters
Heavy bases dominate shipment weight, while bulky canopies dominate volume. Balancing the two in a container is how we keep your per-unit freight low. We share weight tables per SKU before booking.
