Among the many details included on your product labels, two important measurements stand out: net weight and fluid ounces. These measurements provide essential information about the quantity and volume of your product. In this article, we will show you the differences between net weight and fluid ounces and what the fluid ounces or net weight labeling requirements are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-net-weight-measuring-the-quantity\">Net Weight: Measuring the Quantity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-ntwtorflozonproductlabels-ntwt\" alt=\"Use net weight on product labels when items are solid, granulated or powdered\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:225px;height:225px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Net weight refers to the weight of the product itself, excluding any packaging or additional materials. It is commonly used for dry goods, solids, granulated, and powdered items such as grains, flours, spices, and other dry goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Net weight is usually measured in ounces or for large items, pounds, and indicates the actual amount of product the consumer is purchasing. For example, a bag of coffee labeled as 12 oz. shows that the coffee beans inside weigh 12 ounces, not including the weight of the packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fluid Ounces: Measuring the Volume<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-ntwtorflozonproductlabels-floz\" alt=\"Use fluid ounces on product labels when items are liquid\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:225px;height:225px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fluid ounces, on the other hand, measure the volume of a liquid contained within a product&#8217;s packaging. This unit of measurement is primarily used for beverages, sauces, oils, and other liquid-based products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fluid ounces indicate the amount of space occupied by the liquid in the container. For instance, a bottle of shampoo labeled as containing 16 fl. oz. shows that the volume of shampoo inside is 16 fluid ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do you need net weight or fluid ounces on your labels?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comparing products:<\/strong> Net weight and fluid ounces enable consumers to compare products more accurately. By understanding the actual weight or volume, they can make informed decisions based on their needs and preferences. For instance, comparing the net weight of different cereal boxes can help consumers determine which offers more products for the same price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Following recipes:<\/strong> Net weight and fluid ounces play a vital role when following recipes. Precise measurements ensure the desired results, especially when it comes to baking or cooking. They also help maintain consistency and accuracy in cooking and baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should you include on product labels?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Product identity<\/strong>: Every label should clearly identify what the product is, so a consumer can immediately know what they are buying.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Measurements:<\/strong> Product labels must display either the net weight (for solid or granulated products) or the fluid ounces (for liquids). This information allows consumers to assess the quantity or volume of the product accurately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong> An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recipal.com\/nutrition-label-software\/ingredient-lists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ingredient list<\/a> is essential for those with allergies, dietary restrictions, or specific preferences. It should be presented clearly and list all the ingredients used in the product, with allergens highlighted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nutrition facts:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recipal.com\/nutrition-label-software\/nutrition-analysis-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nutritional information<\/a>, including calories, fat content, carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals, empowers consumers to make informed choices based on their dietary needs and goals. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manufacturer information: <\/strong>The label should include the name and contact information of the manufacturer or distributor. This allows consumers to reach out with inquiries or provide feedback, fostering transparency and accountability.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Net weight and fluid ounces are crucial pieces of information provided on product labels. Net weight measures the weight of the product itself, excluding packaging, while fluid ounces indicate the volume of liquid within a container. Including these measurements on product labels allows consumers to compare and make informed purchasing decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When creating your product labels, ensure you include clear information regarding net weight or fluid ounces, along with comprehensive ingredient lists, nutritional facts, and manufacturer information. This will give consumers all the information they need to make sure your product aligns with their needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the difference between ounces and fluid ounces?

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town. At home, I enjoy cooking, playing with my furry friends and figuring out how to garden in the desert (spoiler: it\u2019s a lot harder than it sounds).\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/www.avery.com\",\"www.linkedin.com\\\/in\\\/melanieneff\",\"mneff@avery.com\"],\"knowsAbout\":[\"labels\",\"stickers\",\"sports\",\"real estate finance\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.avery.com\\\/blog\\\/author\\\/mneff\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Do You Need Net Weight or Fluid Ounces on Product Labels? - Avery Blog","description":"Do you need net weight or fluid ounces on your product labels?

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town. At home, I enjoy cooking, playing with my furry friends and figuring out how to garden in the desert (spoiler: it\u2019s a lot harder than it sounds).","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.avery.com","www.linkedin.com\/in\/melanieneff","mneff@avery.com"],"knowsAbout":["labels","stickers","sports","real estate finance"],"url":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/author\/mneff\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17028"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17028\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20850,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17028\/revisions\/20850"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
