1. Question: Fabric Length 100yds width 58 inch (Open) GSM 230, what is fabric weight?
Ans:
Fabric weight in Kg = Length (Meter) X Width (Meter) X GSM in Kg
W (Kg) = l x w x GSM
= (100 Yds X36 X 2.54)/100 X (58 X 2.54)/100
X 230/1000
= 91.44 x 1.4732 x .230
= 30.99 kg

2. Question: Fabric weight 50 kg, Fabric width 40 inch (tube) GSM 180. What is fabric length in
meter?
Ans:
Fabric weight in Kg = Length (Meter) X Width (Meter) X GSM in Kg
W (Kg) = l x w x GSM
50 = l x (40x 2.54x 2)/ 100 X 180/1000
L = 136.70 meter
= 136.70 x 1.0937 yds [ 1 meter = 1.0937 yds]
= 149.50 yds

To full fill the design objectives we need different kind of materials. Fabrics are the main material,
which used for garment manufacturing. We need other materials also, which make the garments
aesthetic, functional and commercially required. Usually other than fabrics these material used for
making garments are called trims and accessories.
Trims:
The raw materials used in sewing room other than fabric are called Trims.
On the other hand we can say that which materials are directly attached with the fabric to make a
garment are called trims. Like: Threads, buttons, lining, Interlining, zippers, labels, care labels, etc.
(Interlining is used as shape forming / preserving materials.)
Accessories:
The materials, which are used to make a garment attractive for sale and packing, other than fabrics
and trims, are called Accessories.
Print:
1. Pigmant
2. Rubber
3. Plastic Salt
4. High Density
5. Suger Print
6. Gel Print
7. Glitter Print
8. Discharge Print
9. Reactive Print

Although most orders for garments are placed by buyers on FOB basis, with buyers to pay for freight
at the shipping destination, it is still necessary for the shipper or the agent to know how to calculate
sea freight and air freight as buyers always need to know how much freight the merchandise cost per
dz. If you are required to sell on CIF basis, (with the shipper to prepay for freight at the shipping
port) you will need to calculate the freight accurately for your own costing.
1. Sea freight:
Sea freight is usually charged based on volume—how much per CBM (cubic meter)—very rarely
by weight as “density cargo”. In fact ANERA (Asia North America eastbound rate agreement)
has designed the freight tariff more based on the usual value of the type of goods, than the usual
weight of them, taking into consideration that for low value merchandise they should give a low
freight rate in order to make it possible for the importers to buy goods overseas. However, for
high value merchandise, they should charge a high freight rate, as it is believed that the buyer can
afford to pay more on freight. The have designed the freight tariff in such a way that everybody
can do business and there is sufficient profit for the shipping lines.

If you ship very heavy goods as loose cargo because the size of the shipment is very small, the
shipping lines will charge you by weight or by volume whichever is higher.
2. Air freight:
Unlike sea freight, the airlines have decided to charge for the heavy merchandise (high density
goods) by weight, and lightweight merchandise (low density goods) by volume. However, as
airplanes can take less weight than ocean liners, the way they
Set the standard, in the garment industry, when you ship goods by air, you have a 70% chance to be
charged by weight, about 30% chance by volume.
The followings are the relationship between weight and volume as set by IATA ( International air
transport association).
a. From most shipping locations in the Far east to the U.S. destinations and Canada 7000 cubic
cm = 1 kilo.
b. From certain locations in the Far east to the U.S. destinations and Canada 6000 cubic cm = 1
kilo
Therefore when you have low density goods to ship by air, in order to determine if you should try to
make the cartons as small as possible to save freight. First you check with the local air forwarding
agent by asking him in the country where you are, how many cubic cm is considered 1 kilo in
weight. They will tell you either 7000 or 6000. This is the answer you need.
Then you physically check the weight and measurements of the good s packed for the air shipment.
Now we have the 3 answers as follows, for example:
a. The country is Bangladesh and the formula is 6000 cubic cm = 1 kilo
b. The measurements of the cartons are 50cmX 60cmX 40cm
c. The gross weight of the cartons are 16 kilo per carton.
Now let us find out if we should try to make the cartons smaller to save air freight by doing the
following calculation,
13
Multiply 5 by 60 by 40 = 120000 cubic cm.
120000 cubic cm divided by 6000= 20 kilo
Now you know, by volume the one carton is of 2 kilo, but by actual weight the carton is of only 16
kilo. You also know the airline will charge whichever is higher, in this case, they will charge you
for 20 kilo, by volume. If the air freight rate is 2.80 per kilo this carton will cost you $
56.00.
Now, in order to save some money, let us try to make the carton smaller, usually by cutting the
height of the carton. Lets say we have succeeded in cutting down the height by 5 cm, and see how
much money we can save.
Now by using the new carton, we have saved 2.5 kilo and this carton will cost only $ 49.00 (17.5
Kilo X 2.80)
