All our orders SENT BY AIR should result in a gross weight freight. This means that it is important that the factory evaluates the correct packing method (size of box and number of pcs per box) to optimize the cost. To do this the factory must calculate the volume weight of the shipment and compare it to the gross weight and advise TSQ the packing method and details for approval BEFORE ordering the shipping cartons. In order to meet the requirements, The gross weight of a shipment must be greater than the volume weight. This must be done considering anyway that the garments should not be hard pressed in the box. 
How to calculate the gross weight: Gross weight = total net weight of the goods inside one box + weight of the carton itself. This must be calculated for each box unless the pieces inside are equal for all boxes. The total gross weight of the shipment is given by adding all single carton gross weight 
How to calculate the volume weight: Volume of the box (carton sizes in meters) Volume weight = 0.006 Based on the above factory should be able to know the minimum quantity of goods to fill in each box in order to have the gross weight higher than the volume weight EXAMPLE Carton box sizes: A‐0.64mt (h) x 0.36mt (w) x 0.47mt (L) = 0.108 m3 = total cubic meters B‐0.108 m3 / 0.006 = 18.048 kg Gross weight in this example should be more than 18.048 kg. However, always consider that the garments must be packed safely and not get damaged by trying to achieve this goal. Integrated Services for Fashion and Design
