Carton Consumption And Costing Calculation
Carton consumption and costing is the most important part for garment merchandiser. In apparel industry, packing accessories which are used for garment packing during garment shipment called packing accessories. Various types of packing accessories which are used in garment packing to shipment process. Carton is one of the important item for shipment the goods. Buyer wise packing instruction varies in different orders. Number of carton ply is showing how much it is hard and strong.
carton costing, consumption of carton, measurement of carton, shipment carton
Measurement of carton for exporting garment:
Formula in CM (without wastage): (Length + Width) x (Width + Height) x 2 / 100 x 100
Formula in CM (include wastage): (Length + Width + 6) x (Width + Height + 4) x 2 / 100 x 100
Carton cost calculation: (Length + Width + Allowance) x (Width + Height + Allowance) x 2 / 10000 x per square rate
As we know, carton is made by using ply board. Ply can be 3ply, 5ply and 7ply. Higher ply means more hard and strong. Carton is needed to deliver the finished goods to the buyer destination. Carton should be strong enough to protect the goods. If the quality of carton is not enough good then during transportation goods may damage and buyer will complain for the damage goods. It is very important that every carton should have two / three ply boards to increase product safety.
Carton consumption calculation method
Consumption of carton means “ply board consumption”. As we know, carton is made by using by ply board. Before calculating carton consumption or ply board consumption, merchandiser has to below information:
Length of carton in CM
Width of carton in CM
Height of carton in CM
By using below formula, garment merchandiser can calculate ply board consumption for an order.
Carton consumption or ply board consumption formula:
(Length + Width + Allowance) x (Width + Height + Allowance) x 2 / 10000
Find the below carton consumption calculation process with example;
Suppose, a 5 ply carton having length 60 CM, Width 46 CM and Height 28 CM, now calculate the carton consumption or ply board consumption for 200 pcs carton box.
Given,
Length 60 CM
Width 46 CM
Height 28 CM
Total carton – 200 pcs
So, carton consumption or ply consumption (per pcs):
(Length + Width + Allowance) x (Width + Height + Allowance) x 2 / 10000
= (60 + 40 + 6) x (40 + 28 + 4) x 2 / 10000
= 1.526 square meter per pcs carton
For 200 pcs, total consumption will be (1.526 x 200 = 305 square meter)
Carton cost calculation formula:
(Length + Width + Allowance) x (Width + Height + Allowance) x 2 / 10000 x per square rate
For easy understanding, find the below costing process with example;
Suppose, 7 ply carton length is 65 CM, width 42 CM and Height 25 CM and per square rate is $0.80, Now find the cost for 200 carton for an order.
Given,
Length 65 CM
Width 42 CM
Height 25 CM
Per square rate $0.80
So, the cost of carton (per pcs)
(Length + Width + Allowance) x (Width + Height + Allowance) x 2 / 10000 x per square rate
= (65 + 42 + 6) x (42 + 25 + 4) x 2 / 10000 x $0.80
= $1.284 / pcs
For 200 pcs, total cost of carton is ($1.284 x 200 = $256.74).

(l+w) (w+h) x 2 in cm
Formula (1) = ………………………….. (without wastage)
100 x100
Formula (2) = (l+w+6) x (w+h+4) x 2/10000 (include wastage)
(l+w) (w+h) x 2 x rate per square meter
Price = ………………………………………..
100 x 100
= rate/pc
Example, here, l = 54cm, w = 33cm, h = 18cm,
From (2) = (54+33+6) X (33+18+2) X2/10000
= 0.99 Square Meter.
