Carton Consumption & Costing for Garments Merchandiser
Garments are delivered to the buyer in cartons. Garments in poly bags are kept in a carton as per instruction of the buyer. Loading cartons with garments is called packaging. Packaging is one of the important part of garment manufacturing and exporting. Buyer generally gives written instruction as to the construction of the cartons. So, carton is the most necessary element for shipment of the goods. Its cost and costing is also important task for merchandisers. Cartoon consumption and pricing procedure are given below.
Cartons are usually measured in cm (centimeter) in garments factory. Then it requires to convert in CBM (cubic meter) while shipping or loading goods in cargo van. Carton’s price, thickness and strength depends on carton’s structure, ply and flute. Following photos provide us concept regarding ply and flute.
Carton Consumption & Costing:
Carton
cost calculation rule:
= [{(Length + width + allowance) cm X (Width + Height + 4)} cm X 2] ÷ 10,000 X Per square liner rate
= [{(60 + 40 + 6) X (40 + 30 + 4)} X 2] ÷ 10,000 X $0.80
= [{(106) X (74)} X 2] ÷ 10,000 X $0.80
= {(7844 X 2)} ÷ 10,000 X $0.80
= 15688 ÷ 10,000 X $0.80
= 1.5688 X $0.80
= $1.25504 / pc (Per carton rate)
= [{(Length + width + allowance) cm X (Width + Height + 4)} cm X 2] ÷ 10,000 X Per square liner rate
= [{(60 + 40 + 6) X (40 + 30 + 4)} X 2] ÷ 10,000 X $0.80
= [{(106) X (74)} X 2] ÷ 10,000 X $0.80
= {(7844 X 2)} ÷ 10,000 X $0.80
= 15688 ÷ 10,000 X $0.80
= 1.5688 X $0.80
= $1.25504 / pc (Per carton rate)
For clear concept we can see
the following short problems and solutions about cartoon consumption and costing.
Note: We use in Bangladesh 2 type Liner,

→ Thai liner (Normal) [ per square meter price $ 0.55 Aprox]
(১) ২০" Normal Container যাতে ২৭-২৯ CBM মাল ধরে।
(1) FCL: Full Container Load
Problems-1: A carton with Length 60cm, Width 40cm & Height 30cm, figure out a Cargo Measurement for 208 cartons?
Note: We use in Bangladesh 2 type Liner,
→ Korean liner (good) [ per square meter price $ 0.85 Aprox]

৩ ধরনের Container পাওয়া যায়।
(১) ২০" Normal Container যাতে ২৭-২৯ CBM মাল ধরে।
(২)
40" Normal Container যাতে ৫৪-৫৬ CBM মাল ধরে।
(৩) 40"
Container যাতে ৬৪-৬৭ CBM মাল ধরে।
সাধারনত ২ ভাবে Container ভাড়া করা হয়
(1) FCL: Full Container Load
(2) LCL: Light Container Load

Sr.Merchandiser আছে যারা ৫/৬ বছর Merchandising করছে কিন্তু দু:খ জনক হলেও সত্য তারা সঠিক ভাবে Carton Consumption &
Costing করতে পারে না। Suppler যে Consumption & Costing নির্ভর করে। এতে দেখা যায় Suppler ইচ্ছা মত টাকা হাতিয়ে নিচ্ছে। আপনি নিজেও বুঝেন না।
Problems-1: A carton with Length 60cm, Width 40cm & Height 30cm, figure out a Cargo Measurement for 208 cartons?
Answer: 60 × 40 × 30 ÷ 10,00,000 × 208 = 14.976
CBM
Or, 0.6 × 0.4 × 0.3 × 208 = 14.976 CBM
Formula: length × width × height ÷ 10,00,000 × carton quantity
Formula: length × width × height ÷ 10,00,000 × carton quantity
Problems-2: A carton of 7 Ply, Length 80cm, Width
60cm, Height 30cm, total carton 120 pcs, find out carton measurement in square
meter ?
Answer: (80 + 60 + 6) × (60 + 30 + 4) × 2
÷ 10,000 × 120 =329 Square
Meters.
Formula: (length + width + wastage) × (width + height + wastage) × 2 ÷ 10000 × carton quantity. (You can avoid wastage, if you wish)
Problems-3: 3 ply carton’s per square (100 × 100) meter’s rate is USD 0.20, carton’s length is 60cm, width 40cm, height 30cm, total required carton quantity is 150 Pcs, figure out price of total cartons?
Formula: (length + width + wastage) × (width + height + wastage) × 2 ÷ 10000 × carton quantity. (You can avoid wastage, if you wish)
Problems-3: 3 ply carton’s per square (100 × 100) meter’s rate is USD 0.20, carton’s length is 60cm, width 40cm, height 30cm, total required carton quantity is 150 Pcs, figure out price of total cartons?
Answer: (60 + 40 + 6) × (40 + 20 + 4) × 2
÷ 10,000 × 150 × 0.20 = 48.70 USD.
Formula: (length + width + wastage) × (width + height + wastage) × 2 / 10000 × carton quantity × price
Formula: (length + width + wastage) × (width + height + wastage) × 2 / 10000 × carton quantity × price
Problems-4
: Suppose, A carton have
length 22.845 inches, width 15.75 inches and height 15.75 inches. Now find out
the CBM for 150 cartons ?
Solution:
·
Length 22.845 inches =
So, 22.845 X 2.54 = 58 cm [ 1 inch = 2.54 cm]
·
Width 15.75 inches = So,
15.75 X 2.54 = 40 cm
·
Height 15.75 inches =
So, 15.75 X 2.54 = 40 cm
Formula: Length X Width X Height / 10,00,000 X
150 [ 1 CBM = 10,00,000 square cm ]
= 58 X 40 X 40 /10,00,000 X 150
= 13.92 CBM
Finally we know that, we need 13.92 CBM cargo
for 150 cartons.
Rate for 7 PLY =
0.55 USD [For GMTS Export Natural 7 Ply Used
5 PLY = 0.39 USD (0.55X 5/7)
(Less Wt Master Carton)
3 PLY = 0.23 USD (It is used as
inner carton)
Example
of CBF (cubic feet) Calculation with formula:
Formula: Length (inch) X Width (inch) X Height (inch) / 1728
Suppose, carton have length is 14 inches, width 12 inches and
height 8 inches. Total quantity 200 pcs. Now, find out the total CBF (cubic
feet)?
Solution:
Formula: Length (inch) X Width (inch) X Height (inch) / 1728 X
carton qty
= 14" X
12" X 8" / 1728 X 200
[1 CBF = 1728 square inches]
= 1344 / 1728 X
200
= 155.55 CBF
Finally, we have found the result, we need 155.55 CBF for 200
cartons.
