Fabric Consumption for
Knit Garments
Fabric Consummation:
In a garment industry, profit or lose mostly depend on the total
consummation of fabric in an order. Therefore, fabric consummation must be
calculated properly before fabric cutting.
There are two major methods to calculate the fabric consumption for a garment
industry. They are namely-marker making method and mathematical method.
Generally fabric consumption for a garment can be calculated through marker
making either by manually or by using a machine withCAD
facilities. By mathematical
method different formulas are used to calculate the fabric consumption. Today I
would like to discuss about Knit and woven fabric consummation in the
garment industry.
Fabric Consummation for Knit Garments:
Following parameters are needed to be considered for fabric
consumption in the garments industry-
1.
Fabric weight (GSM)
2.
Fabrics width
3.
Grin line orientation
5.
Shrinkage of the
fabric
6.
Type of the fabric
7.
Way marker used
9.
Fabric losses while
cutting
We all know that knit fabric and woven fabric consummation
system are quite different. Knit fabric is calculated by
fabric weight and woven fabric is calculated by fabric length and weight
direction. Therefore, the formula of fabric consummation is also different for
both fabrics.
Basic formula of knit fabric consumption is
