4. Marker
Marker is a large thin paper which
contents the required pattern pieces of
various sizes for a particular style of
apparel.

oFabric length
oFabric width
oGrain line
oDirection
oCutting table length
oPlanning

7. Properties of a
good marker
•Full length
•Appropriate width
•Sequence maintain
•Higher marker efficiency

8. A Good Marker

9. Limitation of
Marker Making
1.Fabric Nature
2.Quality of Cutting
3.Production Planning

10. Fabric Nature
1. Pattern alignment to the grain
line.
2. Symmetry or asymmetry.
3. Design of the garment.

11. Quality of Cutting
1. Peter count heck
2. Good Knife
Production Planning
1. Short marker
2. Long marker

12. Methods of
Marker Making
Manual
Full Size Minimized
Computerized
Digitizing Scanning

13. Manual marker
making
1. Marking directly on the fabric.
 Drawing by Chalk or pencil.
 Paint Spray.
2. Marking on the paper.

14. Manual marker making

15. Computerized marker
making
1. Digitizing: All patterns are placed into
digitizing board and every portion are
send to the memory of the computer
by clicking on a special mouse
around every pieces.

16. Computerized marker
making

17. Computerized marker
making
2. Scanning: It is done by a special type
of machine similar to photocopier.
Working patterns are placed on the
screen glass.

18. Computerized marker
making

19. Computerized method
Advantages:
• Increases in material efficiency.
• Decreases in material waste.
• Time and labor savings.
Disadvantages:
• Initial investment is high.
• Skilled operator is required.

20. Methods of drawing and
duplicating marker
1. Carbon duplicating method -Spreading and rolling of
carbon paper is difficult, Suitable to copy 3-4 pieces.
2. Spirit duplicating pattern -working procedure is same as
office duplicating machine/Xerox machine, only significant
difference is that the size of the machine.
3. Photograph -With the photographic method, the original
marker is set onto a light sensitive paper using ultra-violet
light and revealed by using ammonia vapor. This method is
quick and clean.
4. Perforated marker -It can be used many times dirty
process and poor line defect.

21. Fabric wastage

Ends of ply losses: For the extensibility of the
fabric and limitation of cutting machines, 2 cm
allowances is required in each end of the each ply.
Loss of fabric ends: During preparation of the
fabric lay, the last or end remains of the fabric roll
are separated by cutting.

22. Fabric wastage
outside maker
Selvedge losses : Each fabric has two
selvedges along width. The amount of
cut out is considered 3%
(approximately) along width.
Purchase loss : Less fabric may wound
on roll than identified length.

23. Marker efficiency

24. The success of the jobs of a marker man is
determined by the marker efficiency. we can
express it in percentage. The following
formula is used to measure the efficiency.
Area of pattern in the marker
Marker Efficiency = -----------------------------------------X 100%
Total area of the marker plan
Marker efficiency ↑ fabric wastage ↓ profit ↑

25. Factor related to
marker efficiency
• Marker planner.
• Size of the garments.
• Marker length.
• Pattern Engineering.
• Fabric characteristics.
• Marker making method.
• Marker width.
