Significance of Packaging - does it impact Checkout Value?

Hi,

What is the Significance of Packaging?

https://docs.magento.com/m2/ce/user_guide/shipping/magento-shipping-packaging.html

 

As per my understanding of Magento Docs, it is to define the package/wrapper/carton details.

- weight of the carton

- how much weight the carton can handle

 

So, if 1 carton is able to handle 3kg, and if I have 4 items of 1kg, then I will need two cartons.

So, my final consignment weight will be product weight + tare weight.

 

My question is, is the tare weight or weight of carton/packaging affect the Checkout price?

Is there a way to charge the customer (if I want to) for the cartons. Because, the carrier will definitely charge me for extra cartons/packagingboxes
