Three kinds of marker modes popular in the spreading and cutting departments of the garment industry are utilized to prepare smaller markers of a selected garment, the marker efficiency of each marker-replica is calculated.

MARKER MODES

2. Marker Making
Marker mode is the classification of markers
based on the direction in which the pattern
pieces are placed on the fabrics or marker.
The main criteria which influences the
choice of the marker mode is the grain of
the pattern and the nature of the fabric, as
discussed above.
The efficiency of the marker, i.e. the success
of the marker, is greatly affected by the
marker mode chosen.
Marker making can be defined as the
process of arrangement of pattern
pieces by determining the most
efficient layout of pattern pieces.

3. Types of Marker Modes
The Nap/One/Way marker
(N/O/W) is produced with
every pattern placed in the
‘down’ direction of the
pattern in the identical
direction.
The pattern pieces
composing this marker are
placed in either direction,
without compromising on
the grain line marked on
the pattern.
The spreading mode used
in such a case would be
Face to Face, Nap One
Way (F/F, N/O/W), which
nonetheless is a slow
process.

No. of Pattern Pieces of each size:
 Front = 1
 Back = 1
 Sleeves = 2
 Moon Patches = 1
Number of pieces of one garment = 5
Total number of pieces = 5 x 3 = 15

6. Nap One Way
Total number of boxes = 1095
Number of unused boxes = 196
 Marker efficiency
= (1095-196/1095) x 100
= 82.100%

7. Total number of boxes = 1200
Number of unused boxes = 224
 Marker efficiency
= (1200-224/1200) x 100
= 81.333%

8. Total number of boxes = 580
Number of unused boxes = 60
 Marker efficiency
= (580-60/580) x 100

Nap Either Way

9. Total number of boxes = 780
Number of unused boxes = 100
 Marker efficiency
= (780-100/780) x 100
= 87.179%
Nap Either Way
