The figure that matters is the total weight across a large run.\n\nSome programmes price a label that is stuck to a pack together with that pack, and others price it separately; check which applies to you.\n\nA plastic or foil label moves out of the paper category and is priced as plastic or metal.\n\nLabel fees are small enough that they rarely decide a packaging choice, but they still count toward the reported weight."
