How to Prepare Garment Cost Sheet to Calculate MRP Using Tech Pack

Before writing about the garment cost sheet I scanned google to find out any clear articles. I found nothing in there because no business wants to give a clear costing of how they spend money to get material. They call it a business secret. No clothing manufacturer will give you open costing. They will give you one final cost per garment. But, it is your job to figure out how much a garment should cost in a sensible way. Making a cost sheet is an issue when you are not equipped with garment detailing. And you end up losing a lot of money in production. To keep track of your expenses. you can prepare a cost sheet if you have a tech pack in hand. A tech pack designer can give you the detailing that is helpful in preparing your cost sheet.

Why We need Garment Cost Sheet

What is Garment Cost Sheet?

A garment cost sheet is prepared to calculate the cost of one piece of garment. The cost sheet includes the material cost and cost of processing. The production quantity also plays an important part when deciding the cost. This is a complicated subject so let me explain this step by step. I would love to explain this with an example. That’s how we can make it easier to understand the concept of preparing a garment cost sheet. Let’s take a shirt for example. Have a look at the below garment for example.

Bills Of Material - Garment Cost Sheet

To prepare the cost sheet we must know the materials to use in the style. To make a garment we need fabric, thread, buttons, Fusing, packaging clips, poly-bag, and so on. Also, you need to have processing like pattern, fabric cutting, stitching, finishing, etc. When we take those things without a list we may miss out few things. That is why we make garment cost sheets. Some call it Bills of Material ( BOM ). You need to take the expertise of a  tech pack designer to design your style and put the detailing in the tech pack. Unless those details are clear preparing a Bills of Material or garment cost sheet is difficult. You will never get proper pricing if you are not clear about what goes in a style. Tech Pack is the only way you can streamline your apparel production process.
