The factors that influenced Marker planning: The following factors affect marker planning: I. Fabric type; 2. Marker length 3. Cutting quality 4. The requirements of production planning In most of the cases, patterns are outline on the marker along the grain line of the fabric. In woven fabric this is the direction of warp yarn. In case of knitted fabric this is the direction of Wales. But in case of collar the patterns should be in a bias direction of 45 degree to the warp direction. There are some fabric, which shows differently on face and back sides. There are other fabrics which have nap or only one side. So all there aspects must be taken into account during marker planning. Other point that must be considered in that marker planning must match the production plan or order plan. If the order plan is like the same as given in table below, markers plan must match this order plan. Besides, marker plan must include 2-3% (sometimes up to 5%) allowance to cover for wastage during cutting or for possible rejects/ defectives during sewing and other processes.
