Method
Multiplies your entered quantities and unit weights, then applies an explicit packaging allowance for an early shipping-weight scenario.
Assumptions and limits
Enter measured values or your own documented assumptions. This planning tool does not replace a printer, manufacturer, fulfillment partner, or shipping quote.

Estimate from weighed components
Quantity times measured unit weight creates each component category total, and the selected packaging allowance is applied after the component sum. Use grams; do not treat the shipping-weight estimate as a carrier quote or dimensional-weight calculation.
Use the result in a design decision
Weigh a representative deck, punchboard, wooden piece, and rulebook when possible. A heavy box or insert can shift the final result enough to require a new freight and fulfillment scenario.
