Do eco bags weigh a lot and affect product price?
Bag weight (tare) varies depending on the material:
- Light options: Synthetic, cotton mesh or recycled bags weigh only a few grams.
- Heavier: Linen or thicker cotton bags can be problematic for weighed products (e.g. pistachios) if the shop scale doesn't subtract the tare.
- Solution: Some producers (e.g. Sakwabag) print the weight on the tag, making it easier to deduct on scales with a tare function.
Choose lightweight bags or stores with advanced scales to avoid affecting the price.
