Price Behind the Knit: Secrets of Sweater Costs Unveiled

Welcome to our deep dive into the world of sweater manufacturing, where precision meets passion in every fabric we produce. As a key player in supplying European and American fashion brands, we've honed our expertise in striking the perfect balance between cost efficiency and exceptional quality. This journey from yarn to a finished sweater involves a meticulous process of cost calculation, one that is both an art and a science. Today, we invite you behind the scenes to explore the critical elements that shape the cost of a sweater, ensuring transparency and trust in every partnership.

Whether you're a fashion enthusiast or an industry professional, understanding these costs is crucial for appreciating the value behind every stitch

To demonstrate our cost calculation, let’s use a specific sweater as an example, adhering to the following details based on the Chinese market

1st, We begin with the yarn cost:

• Yarn Price: RMB 35/kg
• Sweater Weight: 700g or 0.7kg
• Initial Calculation: 0.7 kg * RMB 35 = RMB 24.5
• However, we must also account for a 20% loss of yarn during the manufacturing process.
• Therefore, the adjusted yarn cost for this sweater is RMB 24.5 * 120% = RMB 29.4.

2nd, We calculate the cost of using the knitting machine:

• Machine Rate: RMB 0.1/min
• Knitting Time: 90 minutes
• Therefore, the cost of using the knitting machine is calculated as 90 minutes * RMB 0.1/min = RMB 9

3rd, Calculate the linking cost

Based on China's labor market rates, the cost for linking a 700g sweater is approximately RMB 7 per piece

4th, The final step involves finishing processes

Including ironing, quality inspection, packaging, washing, and label sewing. Each of these steps incurs a cost of about RMB 1, totaling approximately RMB 5 for all five steps

Summarizing the cost calculation:

• Yarn Cost: RMB 29.4
• Knitting Machine Cost: RMB 9
• Linking Cost: RMB 7
• Finishing Processes Cost: RMB 5

Total Cost = RMB 29.4 + RMB 9 + RMB 7 + RMB 5 = RMB 50.4

This means the total production cost for the sweater is RMB 50.4（USD 7）

Finally, it's important to note that while we have outlined the primary cost factors for this sweater, actual prices can still vary due to seasonal demand, order volume, the gauge of knitting machines used, and other market dynamics.
