Introduction:
Printing cost calculation in the garment industry involves several factors, from materials used to production complexity. It is the second process of costing in the sequence of garment manufacturing. Generally, printing process are performed next to the cutting process. That is because of two reasons, (i) These operations are smaller in size and performed in specific components of the garment, (ii) Sometimes, performing these operations after sewing may be difficult. Hence, the component alone is passed to this section to perform the action. One of the advantages of this process is that it reduces the staining on the rest of the parts of the garment and it reduces the handling time of the printing operators.
In the case of printing cost calculation, garment merchandiser must quote the approximate price based on their previous experience. After the completion of the process, based on the chemicals consumed and dyes utilized, the exact cost must be calculated.
