Objectives of Marker Making: Various objectives are gained by maker making. Followings are the objectives of marker making.
- Similarities among the apparels are gained by the marker making.
- Marker is essential for huge quantity cutting. It is used as the cutting guide of fabrics.
- Fabric wastages are minimized by using marker.
- It saves time and cost.
Efficiency of Marker: It is the ratio between the area covered by pattern pieces and the total area of marker paper. It is expressed by %.
Mathematically,
Marker Efficiency (ME)
: (Area covered by pattern pieces / Total area of marker paper) X 100
: (90 / 100) X 100
: 90%
This is a sample calculation; you can calculate maker efficiency by this method.
