Cost Affecting Factors of Embroidery:
Embroidery is an essential part of decorating a garment item. Embroidery cost mainly depends on design size, types of design, fabric character and per stitch count of the digitized logo. Basically following factors need to be considered to fix embroidery charge:
1) Types of design
2) Logo size
3) Nature of fabric or other substance
4) Number of stitches
5) Time require accomplishing per lot
6) Number of color and thread
7) Any additional cost to keep quality
8) Cost to meet compliance
9) Cutting of applique (Dice or Laser cutting)
10) Cost of Lab test if require
Embroidery Cost Calculation process:As we know most of the time CM rate of embroidery is consists of 12000 stitches. But sometimes CM rate increase for hand involving task to set up Applique, Patch, wording etc. We need to know the following information first and consider some parameters to fix the charge of embroidery.
1) Design stitch quantity. Suppose, it is 60002) Rate of per unit. If it is $0.25/12,000 stitches. (It is variable and may depend on the embroidery design, production capability, factory location, labor cost etc)
Now we will find out the cost per dozen.
= (Total Stitch quantity X 12 / 12000) = (Total Stitch quantity X 12) / 12000 X Rate per unit= (6000 X 12) / 12000 X $0.25= 72000 / 12000 X $0.25= 6 X $0.25
= $1.50/dozen (without embroidery materials cost)
= $1.50 + $.30 is for embroidery materials like embroidery thread, bobbin thread, interlining.
= $1.80
= (Total Stitch quantity X 12 / 12000) = (Total Stitch quantity X 12) / 12000 X Rate per unit= (6000 X 12) / 12000 X $0.25= 72000 / 12000 X $0.25= 6 X $0.25
= $1.50/dozen (without embroidery materials cost)
= $1.50 + $.30 is for embroidery materials like embroidery thread, bobbin thread, interlining.
= $1.80
Moreover, if the embroidery design exists applique then we should consider dice making cost, applique cutting cost, extra applique fabric for dice cutting and applique wastage. Embroidery factory will propose their embroidery rate considering all these factors. We have to take help of outside embroidery factories if manufacturing factory does not have sufficient embroidery machine. Embroidery rate per unit may differ from one factory to another factory considering their product quality and efficiency, compliance, machine quality, establishment cost, variable cost etc.
