The Cost Implications of Improving Fill Weight Control The Cost Implications of Improving Fill Weight Control A major cost-of-quality for packaged products such as food is overfill – also called “give-away” .

In addition, many commercial contracts include fill-weight specifications. This is especially true for ingredients vendors when product packages are used as recipe units.
