If the measurement mark was not on the front of the pack, what, if any, concerns would you have? - Please enter your response

It would make it very difficult compare be ween products that appear the same size. Some packers could take advantage over more ethical companies by hiding the actual quantity which may be less, in an obscure position. Packers place less product in packages as the price of the product rises to maintain a price point. The measurement on the front panel enables purchasers to quickly see the actual quantity.

Unit pricing is only available in the larger supermarkets and not available in hardware stores, pharmacies or service stations.
