Quantity affects price

Quantity clothes goods

5 factors you must know about

Why making production, factory will ask you to make a bigger quantity? What is the relationship between quantity and price? Here i will give some of my opinion about that.

1 On pattern, bigger quantity will lower down the development cost per design. For example, Source fabric, making sample, artwork and delivery cost USD$ 200 total, when making production, order in 100 pieces, means each piece the development cost is USD$2, if order in 1000 pieces means USD$ 0.2 each piece, if order in 5000 pieces means USD$ 0.04 only. Can you see the difference about quantity matter price now?

2 On buying fabric, i think it’s the same all over the world, the more you buy the more discount you can get. for small quantity, will have extra handling charge for that. The knit jersey fabric is almost 3 times on buy sample than bulk price. Because the knit fabric is selling by roll charge by kg not meter.

3 On cutting, usually in bulk production will use machine, for sample need to cut piece by piece. If the quantity is too less for each size that will be too thin to use machine cut, must cut piece by piece by workers. So that’s why small order like make sample, cost is high. When cutting 1000 piece may take about 10 hours, cutting 100 piece may take about 7 hours, the cost is different.

4 On sewing, workers need 1-2 days to get use to the design, on small batch workers still not get use to it then it’s finished, turning get use to the design all the time, looks working everyday, but salary is not as expected. On bulk order in bigger quantity, if the workers working the same design in one month, no need to change anything, he will earn more day by day because cost shorter time on each piece in the following.

5 On iron and packing, it comes across the same way as sewing, worker will be more faster on same design.

Do you have idea about the cost between quantity and price now?  What is the other factor may cause the price different at the end? Welcome you leave comments if you have any ideas, we can communicate together.
