When garment factories calculate interlining requirements, attention often goes straight to GSM and price per metre. But roll dimensions also affect how the material fits into the production process. Width influences cutting layouts, while roll length determines how the factory receives and manages its stock. Ignoring these details can make a seemingly suitable quotation less practical for the actual order.
Roll Width and Cutting Layout
The width of an interlining roll should be considered alongside the garment pattern and cutting plan. A wider roll may allow the cutting team to arrange pattern pieces differently, depending on their size and orientation. It can also affect the amount of usable material obtained from each metre.
This is why buyers should compare width specifications before comparing prices. A rate quoted per metre does not tell the full story if the two products have different widths. The purchasing team should calculate material requirements using the actual roll dimensions.
Roll Length and Inventory Planning
Roll length determines how much material is supplied in each roll. It affects the number of rolls required for an order, how stock is stored and how material is issued to the cutting department.
For example, Double Ghoda supplies woven fusible interlining in 50-metre rolls and non-woven interlining in 90-metre rolls. Its woven range is listed at 150 cm width, while its non-woven range is listed at 100 cm width. These differences should be included in material planning rather than treated as minor packaging details.
Calculate the Requirement Before Ordering
Start with the production quantity and the pattern pieces that require interlining. Estimate consumption based on the cutting layout, then include allowances for sampling and cutting waste. Divide the expected requirement by the roll length to estimate the number of rolls needed.
The final calculation should also account for the supplier’s minimum order quantity. Double Ghoda’s wholesale MOQ is 1,000 metres. Buyers should confirm the required grades, colours and current stock before finalising their order.
Compare the Complete Supply Specification
When comparing fusible interlining suppliers, ask for the GSM, width, roll length, coating and price in the same quotation. This gives your team a more useful basis for comparing materials and planning production. Double Ghoda supplies woven and non-woven interlining for wholesale garment manufacturing requirements.
