Weight printed on label or packing list?

Is it possible to get the assigned weight printed on parcel label or packing list?

I am using a lookup file to determine weights. Some of my items though are 1 off and fragile (pottery items) so weight will depend on size of box used, amount of padding, etc. I usually weigh item and add a bit on. When item sells I print label and pack then re-weigh. Then I have to go back to PP to check weight being used is ok.

These items are often of a high enough value they go Special Delivery which has different costs per weight band, yet if above 2Kg I want to book a courier instead.

If I could get weight printed on parcel label or packing list then I could check weight being used without having to go back to PP saving me quite a bit of time.  If OK I can let parcel go without having to do anything else. If not OK then I can correct and re-issue label.

I have tried turning on 'Use Carrier Details' in Options for printing packing list but weight not printed.

You can use the {Weight} field on your label layout.
