Carton Consumption, CBM & Price Calculation Method

Carton Costing is very important in supply chain and merchandising dept in garments industry. Basically, a simple formula can identify the carton consumption, CBM and cost.

Need below data first-

1. Carton length in Centimeter. Example: 60 CM
2. Carton width in Centimeter. Example: 40 CM
3. Carton height in Centimeter. Example: 20 CM
4. Allowance in Length: 6 CM (General rules)
5. Allowance in Width: 4 CM (General rules)

 

Consumption:

Carton Price Per Pcs:

Suppose Price per square meter of carton is $0.85 (depending on market price).

= Carton consumption Per Pcs (square meter) × Rate (Per Square Meter)
= 1.1872 × $0.85
=$1.00912 per Pcs.

Now for 1pc carton costing stands at =$1.00912.

 

CBM (Cubic Centimeter):

It’s an important calculation for apparel merchandisers to identify CBM specially for vessel booking during shipment. Freight forwarder only works with CBM specially in sea shipment. Here is the formula-

 

Need below data first-

1. Carton length in Centimeter. Example: 60 CM
2. Carton width in Centimeter. Example: 40 CM
3. Carton height in Centimeter. Example: 20 CM

 

 

If you have total 800 Cartons then total booking CBM will be .048 X 800 = 38.4 

Different types of samples in garments industry

 

Different types of samples used in garments industry-

 

 

• Development Sample: Development samples are also called 1^st sample to see design outlook as 1^st impression. It can be changed after meeting.
• Proto sample: Proto samples are mainly made to see garments workmanship. It can be asked by buyer for proto workmanship during development and bulk also.
•  Fit sample: The main purpose of a Fit sample is to check fitting before making PP sample.
•  Ad or photo-shoot sample: This sample is made for marketing purpose of sales. Customer pick this sample from bulk and initial stage also. Main purpose is to prepare advertising of the product.
• Sales Man sample (SMS): This sample is also made for marketing purpose of sales. Customer ask this sample in development stage. Main purpose is to prepare a sales figure with several consumers during SMS Meeting. This sample is also called meeting sample.
• Pre- production sample (PP Sample): This sample is made for checking all bulk parameter like, measurement, styling, print, Embroidery etc. This is the last stage before start sewing approved by buyer.
• Size set sample: This sample is made for checking measurement, placement, fabric before start bulk cutting. With this sample buying QC conduct PP meeting with factory production concern.
• TOP Sample: Pick up sample from bulk to send customer as shipment reference,
• Wash sample: To check and get approval of wash shade, this samples are sent to customer from bulk wash dye lot.
• Shipment sample: last sample to send customer as a shipment reference. This sample is similar like TOP sample. Upon customer approval, factory get shipment permission.
