This is all about the job of Merchandisers where I have worked out for three months. I have worked with the team of Bershka. So, here a brief introduction of Bershka is described with the management body of BEXIMCO related with it.

How we calculate the Zipper Length?

How we calculate the Zipper Length?
The rules of zipper measurement is very simple but some time it becomes a matter of big trouble for us. Actually it depends on the fabric & zipper properties. So, at first we must need an idea about the shrinkage of body fabric & zipper tape. Some zipper measurements are not very complicated such as pocket, leg opening etc. Here, we only discuss about the front long zipper of sweat shirt or Jacket or as like that. 

 A) If the garments is hooded sweat shirt and the zipper goes up to front neck drop from bottom then the rules will as under - 

 Say, 

 Body length (From HPS) - 73 cm 

Front Neck drop (CB) - 8 cm 

Back Neck drop - 2 cm 

 (Use the below rule if the body length measure from HPS)  

Rules : Body length - (Front neck drop + Back neck drop) - 2% to 3% 

 = ( 73 - (8 + 2)) -2% 

= ( 73 - 10 ) - 2% 

= 63 - 2% 

= 61.5 cm 

OR 

 Body length (From CB) - 71 cm 

Front Neck drop(CB) - 8 cm 

 (Use the below rule if the body length measure from CB)  

Rules : (Body length - Front neck drop ) - 2% to 3% 

 = ( 71 - 8 ) -2% 

= ( 71 - 8 ) - 2% 

= 63 - 2% 

= 61.5 cm 

 B) If the garments is high neck and the zipper goes up to to of high neck drop from bottom then the rules will as under - 

 Say, 

 Body length (From CB) - 65 cm 

Front Neck drop - 6 cm 

Height of high neck - 6 cm 

 Rules : (Body length - Front neck drop) - 2% to 3% + Height of high neck 

  = ( 65 - 6) -2% + 6 

= ( 59 ) - 2% + 6 

= 57.82 + 6 

= 63.82 cm = 64 cm 

 Moreover, the rules is not always remain fixed, its may vary depends on practical situations. 

 However, I always advise that you must confirm the zipper measurement with your cutting master & production manager before place an order. 

How to Calculate Garments Cost of Manufacturing (CM) | Knit Garments CM Calculation Formula

How to Calculate Garments Cost of Manufacturing (CM) | Knit Garments CM Calculation Formula
CM is the abbreviation for Cost of Manufacturing. In apparel industry CM means Manufacturing Cost of 12 pcs garments. To calculate Manufacturing Cost of 12 pcs knit garments of a specific order we must know-

1. Monthly expenditure of the factory,
2. Total running machine,
3. Machine qty to execute the layout of the specific order,
4. Daily (8 hour/day) productivity of the said order (excluding alter and reject) and
5. Dollar conversion rate (if monthly expenditure amount is other than US Dollar)

Suppose,

-Monthly Factory Expenditure is BD Taka 40,00,000

-Working days of the month=26 days

-Daily Factory Expenditure= BD Taka 153,846.2 (Monthly Factory Expenditure/working days in a month)

-Total running machine qty=125 Machine

-Daily Expenditure of 1 Machine = BD Taka 1230.769 (Daily Factory Expenditure/Total running machine)

-Machine qty for the layout (for the said order)=30

-Daily cost for the layout= BD Taka 36923.08 (Daily Expenditure of 1 Machine x Machine qty for the layout)

-Hourly production of the layout=120pcs

-Normal daily working hour=8hours

-Daily Production of the layout=960 pcs (Hourly production of the layout x Normal daily working hour)

-Manufacturing cost of 1pc=BD Taka 38.46154(Daily cost for the layout / Daily Production of the layout)

-So, CM (Manufacturing Cost of 12 pcs garments)= BD Taka 461.5385 (Manufacturing cost of 1pc x 12)

-Dollar conversion rate: BD Taka 78=US$1

-So, CM (Manufacturing Cost of 12 pcs garments) in US$= US$ 6.24

-20% profit could be added with CM= US$1.24

-Final CM = US$7.484 (US$6.24+ US$1.24)

How to Measure Button Ligne in Garments Industry?

How to Measure Button Ligne in Garments Industry?
What is Button Ligne?
A button's ligne, refers to a button's size. The word ligne, is a French word that became the standard reference used by German button manufacturers in the early eighteenth century. Ligne is expressed as “L” which is the internationally recognized standard. Consensus at the time was that a "ligne" measured the inside diameter of a "round wick folded flat." One inch is equal to 40 English ligne, 11 French ligne, and 25.5 mm.

Measuring a button - When measuring buttons, we generally are referring to the diameter of the button.   A one inch diameter is called a 40-ligne, which can also be written as 40 Line or simply 40L.

Button Size Measurement Method in Garments Sector:

To measure the button size, we have to use ligne.


We Know,
1 inch = 25.4 mm = 40L
So, 1L = 0.635 mm

Button Ligne (L) = Button Diameter (mm)/0.635

Example-01:
If the button diameter is 14.20 mm then what will be the size of button?

Solution:
Here,
Button diameter = 14.20 mm,

So,

ButtonLigne(L) = Button Diameter (mm)/0.635

= 14.20 / 0.635
= 22 L

Different Ligne Button Used In Different Garments :
Typically shirt buttons range from 13 ligne on the Collar (if button down), 15 on the Sleeve, and 16 thru 20 ligne are generally used on the placket.  Pant buttons generally have a 22 or 24 ligne on the front closure, and either a 24, 27 or 28 ligne .On the back pockets.  Men’s Tailored Suits generally have a 24-ligne button on the sleeve and pant closure, and a 32 ligne on the Jacket closure, some double breasted suits use a 34 or 36 Ligne.

Button Quantities
Buttons are for the most part priced and sold by the gross or GG. One gross equals 144 individual buttons & also 1 GG equals 1728 individual buttons.  Although some high fashion buttons are priced by the piece or by the dozen, the standard unit we use at is gross.

Button Holes
This is in reference to the number of holes in the button. Buttons can be made with 2 holes, 3- holes, 4-holes and even 5-holes.  Menswear items typically are 4-hole, and Women’s clothing typically has 2-holes.  The button holes are frequently recessed from the edge, forming a “center well”.
