INTRODUCTION
Bangladesh is an under developing Country. The development and progress
of the country largely depends on export performance. In case of Bangladesh
among the export sectors the ready-made garments(RMG) are the main
earning source of foreign currency. In the garment and Textile industry,
merchandisers have been playing a vital role for the execution of export
orders. There are large number of merchandising personnel who are working
in the garment and textile sub-sectors.
In Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia, the term “merchandising”
Basically a merchandiser is someone who is continuously involved in
business promotion by buying and selling of goods.
The merchandiser is the person whose responsibility is to execute the orders
perfectly as per the costing and pricing.
TYPES & HIGHLIGHTS WORK OF MERCHANDISING
Two type of merchandising done in garment exports
1. Marketing merchandising. 2. Product merchandising.
work of Merchandising
To collect buyers addresses & contact with the buyers sending formal letters/profile.
Receiving buyer’s response and providing price quotation & Receiving samples . To furnish the pro-forma invoice and sending lab-dips of the materials (FAB & ACC)
Receiving the master L/C . floor booking , transfer authentication of the L/C .
Pushing the factory taking initial procurement to open the back-to-back L/C by bank.
Searching reliable fabric and accessories
To monitor the shipment of raw materials and arrival in the factory.
To order the test cutting with quality, check/inspect/advise for the bulk production.
To monitor production, quality and delivery.
Sending Samples to the buyer for approval.
Collecting accessories form different Suppliers.
Giving order to the specified garment factory.
Communicate with all the respective parties.
Coordinating the whole process at a regular manner.
Merchandiser is he who builds up relationship with the buyer and acts as a seller. He
plays a vital role in an organization in a sense that he bears more responsibility than
other in regards to execution of an order.
His aim is to impress the buyers by means of Right PQQT

GARMENT FINISH
Pre –Shrinking Finish: Pre-shirking is needed almost on all fabrics because most textile materials
shrink when washed.
Softening Finish: Fabric softening is generally done together with desizing.
Brush and Sanding Finish: In many cases we may finish the fabric by brushing or sanding to give them smooth velvet–like or suede-like surface.
Mercerizing and Singeing Finish: Singeing and mercerizing are in many cases related and done at the same time. Singeing is passing the fabric through a flame (fire) so that the hair and nubs of the fabric are burnt off to give it a clean surface.
Resin Finish: Resin finish is to stabilize the fiber to make it shrinkage and crease resistant.
Permanent Press Finish: Permanent Press Finish (P.P. Finish) is generally done on TC fabrics;.
Water Repellent Finish: Water repellant finish is different from water proof finish. It means water, if showered on the fabric briefly, cannot make the fabric wet.eg. Rain coat, Umbrella.
Water Proof Finish: water cannot showered into the fabric by this finish even air cannot pass easily.eg. Tripol, Hose pipe treat by fats, wax, rubber etc.
Peach Skin Finish: Peach skin is a smooth finish applied to finely woven Micro Fiber fabric.
Soil Release Finish: Repel the stains and soil using repellants such as flour chemicals or create a surface that aids the removal of soils when cleaning or laundering using chemicals based on poly-acrylic acid.
Fire Retardant Finish: The finishing of fabrics with flame retardants can reduce the tendency to burn or reduce the tendency to propagate the flame.
Sanforization Finish: Shrinkage in garments is very important issue because when they shrink out of size, they cannot be worn.

Apparel Washing : Apparel Washing is the process to remove dirt and dust grey or color garments by
chemical to get good appearance and distinct performance of apparel.
Normal Wash : Wash in hot water (of about 40˚c) added with softener and detergent for 5-15 minutes.
Ringed in plain water and dry in tumble dryer.
Acid Wash : Acid wash mainly use for heavy fabric like Jeans and Denim. Acid wash is very common
with stone. Acid stone wash is very common term. During acid wash pumic stone is used. During loading
and unloading of the garments in the washing m/c. counting of garment should be done to avoid double
treatment of garment. If garment is double treat , then the garments will be rejected.
Wrinkle Wash : By using wrinkle wash chemical (Emxopret Eco) wash the garment to get wrinkle effect
on fabric of body .After giving and applying chemical conditioning (by sun light) is done. Finally drying.
Pigment wash : The purpose of the pigment wash is to get the solid color to fade evenly in washing ,
leading a prominent wash effect on the garment . Pigment wash needs 50˚c to 60˚c to wash .Then rinse in
plain water and dry in tumble dryer.
Stone wash : The idea of washing with porous volcanic stones is to give the garment a strong and rough
wash to achieve the pronounced washed effect through abrasion on the exposed areas, such as seams and
pocket corners.
Enzyme Wash : Enzyme is one kind of bio catalyst which used to break some of the fibers on the surface in
order to give the fabric soft ,sanded or “peached” effect. If garment is made of indigo denim, enzyme can replaced of stone, to give the denim a stone wash look, with better, nicer blue and white contrast on the
surface.
Bleach Washing : Bleach wash is simple; you just have to add bleach to the water in the tumble for
washing .Washing time is very important because any garment over-bleached cannot be corrected.
Laundry Washing : This is one kind of home washing. Apparel wash with some added of detergent at
30˚c for 1.5 hours. Finally squeeze and dried.
Monkey wash : It is one kind of dry wash. By using sand blast it make fading effect in a certain period.
Specially this wash is done on the garments made from denim or jeans pant. This wash occurred on a pant
by following monkey’s body, so it is called monkey wash.
Tinting (Tie) & Over Dyeing(Dip Dyeing) : In over dye, the garment should be put into tumble to dye into
the color you want. Direct or reactive dye depend on the dyed fabric or yarn which is used to apply. If you
use direct dye cost will be save. You must use color fixing agent after dyeing to make the color more stable.
Ring Wash : It is one kind of normal wash used for Woven garments. In this wash process softener -1%
and acid -0.5% are used at 40˚c for10-20 minutes.
Stone Enzyme Wash : At present ,in our country maximum denim garment is
washing by stone enzyme wash process. You can achieve a distinct effect by
combination of stone and enzyme. Every process almost same ,but after desizing and
hot wash stone enzyme process is done.
Super White Wash/ Magic Wash : Super White Wash is done on the garments made
from cotton grey fabrics. Due to this type of wash garments become extremely white.
You should use Whitening/OBA/ Fluorescent powder in the finishing process to make
the part whitener.
Silicon Wash : To soft the fabric silicon is used, but enzyme silicon wash and Stone
silicon wash is more popular for providing softer feel and good drape to the polyester/
cellulosic blended fabric. It also use Jean & Denim after enzyme or stone wash.
Silicon wash is popular for Sweater.
Caustic Wash : Caustic wash is very easy and common garments wash. This process is
done by two step. First step is pigment wash and last one is caustic wash. In this
process , garment treat with caustic solution (NaOH) at 80˚c for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Sand Blasting : It is one kind of mechanical wash process. It gives faded effect on
garments made from heavy fabric like Denim & Jeans. At present sand blasting is a very
popular garments wash, because of it is cheap and very good fading effect can be done. The
sand blasting process normally followed by a wash or dyeing process, The subsequent wash
may be normal wash, bleach wash, enzyme wash, over dyeing etc. For sand blasting ,nozzle
(dia-1/1.5 mm) ,tunnel board, compressor and chemical Al2O3 (sand) used. Aluminum m
oxide is used for sand blasting and imported from China. Turkey. Aluminum oxide looks
like normal sand , but very hard and fine granular. In this process fading is done on the
premarked areas of the garments patterns or design by folding or blocking techniques. The
area of garments fabric surface is instantly faded by blowing action of Aluminum oxide due
to frictional effect of Aluminum oxide.
De luster Process : De luster is one kind of chemical washing which create faded effect
and make dull of garments color. It makes extra looking of garments, Manmade fiber has a
natural brightness. By de luster process make the fiber semi dull or dull by white pigment i.e
Tetanium di oxide. For de luster process dyes which used for dyeing must have know before
processing then choose de luster chemical. For de luster of vat dyed fabric hydrous
(Na2S2O4) & caustic soda (NaOH)is used.

DEFECTS
Sewing defects
Open seams, wrong stitching techniques, non- matching threads, missing stitches, improper
creasing of the garment, erroneous thread tension and raw edges are some of the sewing defects
which can affect the garment quality adversely.
Color defects
Variation of color between the sample and the final garment, wrong color combinations and
mismatching dyes should always be avoided.
Sizing defects
Wrong gradation of sizes, difference in measurement of various parts of a garment like sleeves of
XL size for body of L size garment can deteriorate the garments beyond repair.
Garment defects
Broken or defective buttons, snaps, stitches, different shades within the same garment, dropped
stitches, exposed notches and raw edges, fabric defects, holes, faulty zippers, loose or hanging
sewing threads, misaligned buttons and holes, missing buttons, needle cuts or chews, pulled or
loose yarn, stains, unfinished buttonhole, short zippers, inappropriate trimmings etc. all can lead to
the end of a brand name even before its establishment.
WORKFLOW OF SAMPLING
Salesmen samples or promotional samples
Proto samples or fit samples
Counter samples or reference samples or approval samples
Wash test samples
Photo samples
Fashion show samples
Pre-production samples
Production samples
Shipment samples
DEVELOP A SAMPLE:
SAMPLE IS THE PHYSICAL FORM OF BUYER’S SPECIFICATION OR STYLE/DESIGN.
AFTER DRAW A CACHE A SAMPLE IS PREPARED FOR THE BUYERS AND SENDS TO THE
BUYERS. SAMPLING MAY BE IN TWO WAYS.
1. SAMPLING AFTER CONFIRMATION PRICE.
2. SAMPLING BEFORE CONFIRMATION PRICE. FOR SAMPLING A MERCHANDISER NEED
FABRICS, YARN, LEVEL, ETC.
TYPES OF SAMPLE/STAGES OF SAMPLE:
1.1ST PATTERN: THE FIRST PHYSICAL VERSION OF ANY GARMENT AS PER THE
ARTWORK DONE BY DESIGNER AND/OR DEVELOPER.
2. 2ND PATTERN: USUALLY DESIGNER/ DEVELOPER ALWAYS ASKS FOR SOME
CHANGES TO THE FIRST PATTERN. SECOND PATTERN IS MADE AS PER COMMENTS.
3.SALES MAN SAMPLE:
SAMPLE IS MADE WHEN PRICE IS CONFIRMED AND ORDERS ARE ON SPECULATION,
USUALLY IN L SIZE IN ALL COLOR COMBINATIONS WHICH IS EXPECTED
4.PRODUCTION:
IT IS A REFERENCE TO THE BUYER THAT THE BULK IS BEING PRODUCED AS PER
SPECIFICATION. BUYER WANTS TO BE ASSURED THAT CORRECT MATERIAL IS
SOURCED AND LINE WORKMANSHIP CONFIRM TO THE QUALITY.
MARKETING/DEVELOPING SAMPLE:
5.COUNTER SAMPLE :(BASED ON BUYER REQUIREMENT,):
WHERE FIRST PATTERN IS MADE ON DESIGNERS ARTWORK, COUNTER
SAMPLE IS TO MAKE NOT ON DESIGNER’S ARTWORK, HAS TO FOLLOW ANOTHER SAMPLE GIVEN BY THE MERCHANDISER
6.FIT SAMPLE/RED TAG SAMPLE/ PROTO TYPE SAMPLE:
SAMPLES ARE MADE WITH ACTUAL COLOR AND MATERIAL TO BE WORN BY
THE MODELS ON THE EVENT OF SHOOTING FOR CATALOG.
7.APPROVAL SAMPLE:
IN ANY DISCRETE PERIOD OF TIME, WHENEVER IT REQUIRED ANY REVISION
IN THE SAMPLE, A NEW SAMPLE IS MADE (SOME TIMES MOCK-UP IS
WORKABLE TOO) AS PER NEW SPECIFICATION. IT IS SENT TO BUYER FOR HIS
APPROVAL OF THE CONFORMITY THAT- THE REVISION IS DONE CORRECTLY.
8.PREPRODUCTION SAMPLE/SIZE SET SAMPLE :
WHEN MATERIAL FOR BULK PRODUCTION ARRIVED, FACTORY MAKES A SAMPLE WITH THE
ACTUAL MATERIAL AND SENDS TO BUYER.
9.PRODUCTION SAMPLE:
THE SAMPLE IS GIVEN TO THE BUYER FROM THE PRODUCTION LINE IN THE PRODUCTION FLOOR
IS CALLED PRODUCTION SAMPLE.
10.SHIPPING SAMPLE:
A SAMPLE IS KEPT FROM EVERY PRE SHIPPING INSPECTION TO BE REFERRED, IF REQUIRED,
AFTER THE ORDER HAS BEEN DELIVERED. USUALLY FOR ANY DISPUTES (E.G. CLAIM) SHIPPING
SAMPLE IS IMPORTANT.
11.MOCK UP SAMPLE:
ANY PART OF THE GARMENT TO MAKE FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NOT COMPLETE GARMENT.
SOMETIMES IT IS NECESSARY TO SEND TO THE BUYER ANY PART OF THE GARMENTS, SUCH AS
SLEEVE, COLLAR, NECK ETC AND SOME ACCESSORIES.
SWATCH:
SWATCH IS A PRESENTATION OF ALL THE MATERIALS IS (FABRIC & ACCESSORIES) USED FOR ANY
SPECIFIC STYLE/ORDER. USUALLY SMALL PIECE OF FABRIC AND EACH PIECE OF ACCESSORIES
ARE ATTACHED IN BOARD PAPER IN A SYSTEMATIC MANNER. SWATCH IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR
PRODUCTION LINE TO MAKE THE CORRECT CONSTRUCTION OF A GARMENT AND QC
DEPARTMENT ENSURES IT.
FABRIC CONSUMPTION CALCULATION OF A WOVEN SHIRT
Rules:
{1/2 Chest X (B length + Sleeve length)}X 2 / 36 / Fabric width + wastes %
Body length = Body length + Seam allowance. (In case of wash garments, washing allowance to be added) Body width = Chest width + Seam allowance. (In case of wash garments, washing allowance to be added) Sleeve Length = Sleeve length + Seam allowance. (In case of wash garments, washing allowance to be added) Suppose: Body length = 32" + 1" (Seam Allowance ) = 33" Sleeve length = 23" + 2.5" (Cuff width) + 1.5" (Seam Allowance) = 27" 1/2 Chest Width = 24" + 1" (S.A) + 3" Pleat width = 28" Formula: = {1/2 Chest X (B length + Sleeve length)} X 2 / 36 / Fabric width + wastes % = {28" X (33+27)} X 2 / 36 / 44 + 5% = (28X60) X 2 / 36 / 44 + 5% = 2.22 YDS / PC
FABRIC CONSUMPTION CALCULATION OF A KNIT T-SHIRT
Rules: {(B/length + S/length + Sewing Allowance) X (1/2 Chest + Sewing Allowance)}X 2 X GSM X 12 /
10000000 + Wastage%
Body Length + Sleeve Length + 10 (for folding {sleeve & bottom}) * (1/2 Chest width + 4 C.M.) * 2 / 10,000 * G.S.M. (Gram per
square meter) Range / 1000 * 12 + 10% (wastages)
= K.G. per Dozen
Body length of the garments in cm - 73 cm
Sleeve length of the garments in cm - 19.5 cm
Approximate sewing allowance at body hem, shoulder joint, sleeve hem & armhole joint
(in cm). Say it is - 10 cm
Chest width (1/2) in cm - 52 cm
Approximate sewing allowance at both side seam (in cm) - 4 cm
Fabric GSM (finish) - 160 gsm
Approximate fabric wastage in various stages - 10%
{(73 + 19.5 + 10) X (52 + 4)} X 2 X 160 X 12 / 10000000 + 10%
= (102.5 X 56) X 2 X 160 X 12 / 10000000 + 10%
= 5740 X 2 X 160 X 12 /10000000 +10%
= 22041600 / 10000000 + 10%
= 2.20416 + 10 %
= 2.424576 Kg/dozen

CARTON CONSUMPTION AND COSTING CALCULATION
Formula: (Length + Width) × (Width + High) × 2 + Wastage %
Measurement
Length = 92 cm = 0.92 m
Width = 80 cm = 0.80 m
High = 40 cm =0.40 m
Ply = 7
Quantity = 200 pcs carton
Price for 7 ply = $ 0.60 / sqm
For Carton,
= {(0.92 + 0.80) × (0.80 + 0.40)} × 2 + 5 %
= (1.72 × 1.20) × 2 + 5 %
= 4.128 + 5 %
= 4.33 sqm × $ 0.60
= $ 2.60 / carton box × 200 = $ 520
For knife Saver
Length x Width=.92 x .80= (0.0736 x 2 x .52)= $ 0.764

POLY CONSUMPTION & COST
Length = 20 inch’s
Width = 15 inch’s
Thickness = 10 mm
So,
= 75000 / (L × W × T)
= 75000 / (20 × 15 × 10)
= 75000 / 3000
= 25 pcs
= 1 Lbs (25 pieces are produce by 1 lb of polymer chip)
1 pack =55 pounds market price pp=3500 BDT
LDPE=3800 BDT
So, 1 pound=3800/55=70 BDT
25pcs =70 BDT
1 pcs =2.8 BDT = $ .034
For / dozen =$ .034 x 12 = $ .4148

EMBROIDERY COST:
We have to know,
In embroidery m/c 1 head= 18000 stitch/hour(general speed)
Where number of needle per head=20
Per head stitch per minute(S.P.M) =300
Stitch per hour = 60 X 3000=18000
12000 stitch = 1 unit
Let,
10 unit for need to make Chicken design
Per unit cost= $ .12
= 10 unit x $ .12
