WooCommerce Packaging Data Checklist + CSV

1. Capture product packaging

Record packaging weight per material for each SKU or variation. Measure the packaging supplied with the product, not the contents or the product itself. Record the source of each weight.

Keep on record: SKU / variation; grams of paper/cardboard, plastic, glass, aluminium, ferrous metal, wood and other; measurement source; effective date.

2. Define shipping profiles

Record the packaging added for dispatch: cartons, mailers, tape and filler. One order may ship in multiple parcels. The profile should describe the packaging actually used.

Keep on record: Profile name; material weights; grams per profile; effective date; exceptions.

3. Calculate from orders, not today’s catalogue

Multiply packaging weight per unit by each order-line quantity and add shipping packaging once per shipment. Avoid counting shipping boxes or returns twice.

Keep on record: Order reference; date; quantities; destination; chosen profile version; material totals.

4. Preserve the packaging record used for the order

Packaging master data can change later. Keep the packaging record that applied when the order was processed so older order totals are not silently rewritten.

Useful to retain: order reference; processed date; selected shipping profile; packaging values used; optional source/reference.

5. Review and export

Check missing weights, exceptions, country/year filters and quantities before using outputs in external reporting.

Keep on record: Detailed audit entries; summary by material/country/year; traceability of totals.
