What is Fabric Booking?
Calculating exact bulk fabric booking requirements prevents fabric shortages during cutting and avoids expensive leftover deadstock at the end of production.
Formula
Total Fabric Booking = [(Order Quantity / 12) × Consumption per Dozen] × (1 + Process Wastage % / 100)
How to Calculate
Divide total order garments by 12 to find dozens, multiply by consumption per dozen, and apply overall process/dyeing wastage percentage.
Example
Order = 12,000 pcs (1,000 dz), Consumption = 2.8 kg/dz, Wastage = 5% → Net = 2,800 kg → Total Booking = 2,800 × 1.05 = 2,940 kg.
