How Heavy is a Case of Water? (24 Bottles)
For many people, a case of water is HEAVY!
Take a quick look over at Twitter and you can find tons of tweets of people crying about carrying or lifting up a case of water, due to its weight.
Going to the grocery store and having to take out the case from the car and carrying it inside can be quite challenging, so how much does a case of water really weigh?
| Number of Bottles | Weight of Bottles (lbs) | Packaging Weight (lbs) | Total Weight (lbs) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24 | 25.35 | 1-2 lbs | 26-27 lbs |
| 32 | 33.8 | 1-2 lbs | 35-36 lbs |
| 40 | 42.25 | 1-2 lbs | 43-44 lbs |
To get those numbers above, we just have to do a little math.
- Ounces in a water Bottle = 16.9 oz.
- Number of bottles in case = 24
- 16.9 oz./bottle x 24 bottles = 405.6 oz
- 16 oz = 1 lb
- 405.6 divided by 16 oz. = 25.35 lbs
So from that quick math, a case of water works out to be 25 lbs. Add in packaging, the weight of bottle/caps, you can say the case will have a total weight anywhere from 26-27 lbs.
How Much Does a 32 or 40 Pack of Water Weigh?
Some cases of water are available in 32 or 40 bottles.
To get the weight, you would use the same calculations that we used above:
- Ounces in a water Bottle = 16.9 oz.
- Number of bottles in case = 32/40
- 16.9 oz./bottle x 32 or 40 bottles = 540.8 oz/676 oz
- 16 oz = 1 lb
- (32 Bottles) 540.8 divided by 16 oz. = 33.8 lbs
- (40 Bottles) 676 divided by 16 oz. = 42.25 lbs
From the information above, we can estimate that a case of 32 bottles works out to be 33.8 lbs and a case of 40 bottles works out to be 42.25 lbs. Add in packaging, the weight of bottle caps and a case of 32 bottles will weigh 35-36 lbs. The case of 40 will weigh 43-44 lbs.
