Sharon44 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I sell tealights in a box of 6. Should the weight on the label be for the entire content or per tealight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Entire content.Think of it this way. You have a Reeses candy bar packed with 2 standard peanut butter cups. Weight listed on package is for the 2 cups. Then you have a halloween package with many individually wrapped peanut butter cups inside a plastic bag. Weight listed on bag is for the entire contents. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy, USMC Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Here's the link to the Code of Federal Regulations (16 CFR Part 500-503 addresses labeling requirements) http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fplajump.shtmAlthough para 500.27 gives soap as an example I'm sure it applies to tealights: (Quoted from the Code)Examples: Deodorant Cakes: "5 Cakes, Net Wt. 4 ozs. (113 g) each, Total Net Wt. 1.25 lb. (566 g)" or "5 Cakes, Total Net Wt. 1 lb. 4 ozs. (566 g)";Soap Packets: "10 Packets, Net Wt. 2 ozs. (56.6 g) each, total Net Wt 1.25 lb. (566 g)" or "Net Wt 1 lb. 4 ozs. (566 g)" or "10 Packets, Total Net Wt. 1 lb. 4 ozs. (566 g)."Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
