net weights
Masses minus containers
Net weights are the weights of goods excluding packaging, containers, or other materials that add to total weight.
When shipping produce, the net weight is the fruit itself; when buying canned goods, it's the food without the can.
The term distinguishes from gross weight, which includes everything.
The label showed a net weight of 12 ounces.
