In garment industry, production merchandiser has to know
clearly button liner calculation process for smooth bulk production. Improper
button size calculation may hamper bulk production process or can turn the
garments into faulty garments. As it is
important task in readymade garments, find the process of button measurement
calculation system step by step.
Basically, in garments we used “L” symbol to define the
button liner. Liner is expressed as “L” which is internationally recognized
standard. Liner is used to measure the diameter of button. In clothing and
fashion design, button is a small disc and typically round, object attached
with cloth in order to secure an opening or for decoration.
Type of Button
- Alloy button
- Nylon button
- Polyester button
- Horn button
- Jeans button
- Snap button
- Shank button
- Coconut button
- Wooden button
Before starting calculation of button measurement we should
know below information for measuring:
1 inches = 40 ligne = 2.54 cm
1 ligne = 0.635 mm
1 dozen = 12 Pcs
1 gross = 12 Dozen = 144 pcs
1 GG = 12 Gross = 1728 Pcs
To calculate button measurement follow below formula to get
the button liner;
Button liner = Button diameter (mm) x 1/0.635
Find the below example with details;
Suppose, button dia is 15 MM then what will be the button
liner?
Solution:
Button liner = Button Dia / 0.635
= 15MM / 0.635
= 24 L
For 15 mm dia button, we found button size 24L. Using above
formula, we can calculate any button measurement for garments item.
Button costing calculation:
Suppose, we have garments order qty – 30,800 pcs and need 2
pcs Alloy button for every garments. And we have button price $4.00 for 1
gross. Let’s find out the total button cost for 30,800 pcs garments?
Solution:
1 Gross = 144 pcs
Price for 1 gross is $4.00
Need button = 30,800 * 2 = 61,600 pcs = 427.77 Gross
So, button price will be = 427.77 * $4.00
= $1711.11
So,
our button cost is $1711.11 for 30,800 pcs garments.
