Below weight estimates are approximations and can be used for small shipments. For large shipments (more than $1000 domestic or more than $500 international) you must get an accurate weight / dimension count from Irwindale (Junior/Angie/Rubi can assist with this) before quoting a customer, keeping in mind that dimensional weight plays a role as well and is very critical to be considered for large shipments ($1000+ for domestic or $500+ for international).
1 gallon = 3.8 kgs
1 liter = 1000ml
1 liter = 1kg
1 liter = 1000 grams
1 kg = 2.2 pounds
Example 1: if you want to calculate the weight (in pounds) for 1 gallon ink, you do:
1 gallon = 3.8 kgs
3.8 kgs = 8.36 pounds
Example 2: if you want to calculate the weight (in pounds) for 60ml of ink, you do:
60 ml = 0.06 liters
0.06 liters = 0.06 kg
0.06 kg = 0.13 pounds
Also, a general rule of thumb for common item approximation is as follows:
- Ink Cartridge = 0.15 pounds
- Toner Cartridge = 3 pounds
- 60ml = 0.15 pounds
- 120ml = 0.3 pounds
- 250ml = 0.6 pounds
- 1 liter = 2.2 pounds
- 1 gallon = 8.3 pounds
- 5 gallons = 20 pounds
- Printer = 20 pounds
- Refill Kit = 1 pound
- Frosting Sheet Pack = 2 pounds
