Yarn Dyed Stripe
Dear All,
Today I'm going to share with you a very very important topic which is related to Yarn Dyed Fabric. My this post is only based on knitted fabric not woven and other's fabrications.
When we got a work order of garments item from the buyer at first we collect the fabric to make the garments. We could purchase this fabric directly from the fabric supplier or also could make the fabrics in our own factory. In both the way we need to produce the fabric at first. The main raw materials of fabric is yarn.
In a general way at first we collect the gray yarn from yarn factory to produce the fabric. The factory which made the yarn from cotton are called as Spinning factory. Then from this gray yarn we knit the fabric by knitting machine. As this machine worked as a circle so we called this machine as circular knit machine. The company which made (knit) the fabric by circular knit machine are called as Knitting Factory.
As at first we produce the fabric from gray yarn so we called this fabric as gray fabric. Then we dye the fabric in any color as per requirement of color. The company which dyes the gray fabric are called as dyeing factory. After dye the fabric we called this fabric as solid color fabric or solid color dyed fabric.
But sometimes after collecting the yarn we direct dye the yarn before knit the fabric. We called this dyeing process as yarn dyeing. And the factory which dyes the yarn are called as yarn dyeing factory. In our country there is a very small number of factories which dye the yarn. It is a very costly project.
After dye the yarn we knit the fabric with this dyed yarn. As this fabric is made from dyed yarn so we called this fabric as yarn dyed fabrics.
Today I will mainly discuss with you about this yarn dyeing and yarn dyed fabric knitting process. We can produce various kinds of fabric by this dyed yarn. Also I will share some very important information with you which is very very rare. Even you will not get this information in any textile related books.
Here, I will share with you the answer of following question as mentioned below --
01. What is yarn dye?
02. How the yarn dyed fabric is made?
03. What is yarn dyed fabric?
03. What is yarn dyed stripe (fabric)?

What is yarn Dye-
In the general sense dyeing of gray yarn we can call "Yarn Dye". But many times we received some order of striped T-shirt or Polo shirt or any other garments item. This stripe can be made by prints or dyed yarn. If buyer asked for dyed yarn then we dye the yarn and knit the fabric with this dyed yarn. In textile sector we called this yarn dyeing process as yarn dye. Many times we also dye the yarn for some other purpose other than body stripe, it can be for a fancy yarn dyed fabric also.
How the yarn dyed fabric is made
For normal knit fabrication we put the cone of gray yarn on the feeder and then knit the fabric. But when put the cone of colored yarn on the feeder (as per our requirement) and produce the fabric with these colored yarns then we called this fabric as yarn dyed fabric.

What is yarn dyed fabric
The fabric which is made from dyed yarn are called as yarn dyed fabric. This yarn dyed fabric will not be always striped, it can be solid color also. We can use all the feeder yarn dyed, also we can use some specific yarn dyed feeder to knit the fabric. Actually how many yarn dyed feeder will be used, its depends on the fabric requirements. Such as when we produce a yarn dyed polo shirt that times we also knit the flat knit solid color collar with dyed yarn with a view to mach the color with body fabric. Many times I saw some supplier try to dyeing the (grey) collar and cuff, which color is related with body stripe to reduce the cost. I request to all of you please don't try to do this, better carefully include the yarn dyeing price before quote the price to buyer. Sometimes buyer ask for tipping collar with solid color polo shirt, in this case used good quality yarn to avoid color migration problem

Freight Cost and Container Details
Dear All
Nowadays most of the garment order we do on FOB basis, so the buyers pay the freight to the shipping agent or freight forwarder. However, still it is necessary for the us to know how to calculate sea freight and air freight cost.
Actually many buyers are still placing their order on CIF basis to us. In this case the shipper to prepay freight. So, we need to learn all the details regarding the Freight charge, Containers details, Customs clearance cost and others shipping terms.
Mainly we delivery the goods to buyer by 03 (three) ways.
1. By SEA
2. By AIR
3. By Road
Out of these 03 ways mostly we prefer delivery the goods by Sea, because it's cheaper than Air and Road transportation. Today I will discuss with all of you regarding SEA delivery.
SEA FREIGHT:
Generally sea Freight varies based on volume of the goods. Mostly it calculated on how much per CBM (Cubic meter). However, very rarely we calculated it by weight as “density cargo”.
Generally sea Freight varies based on volume of the goods. Mostly it calculated on how much per CBM (Cubic meter). However, very rarely we calculated it by weight as “density cargo”.
ANERA (A.N .E.R.A. Asia North America Eastbound Rate Agreement) has designed the freight tariff based on the usual value of the type of goods, than the usual weight of them, taking into consideration that for low value goods they should give a low freight rate in order to make it possible for the importers to buy goods overseas . However, for high value products, they should charge a higher freight rate as it is believed that the buyer can afford to pay more for freight. They have designed the freight tariff in such a way that everybody can do business and there is sufficient profit for the shipping lines. Please find below an example for your better understanding For low value goods
Suppose, for a Furniture company the ocean friegh rate will be
US $1,400.00 for a 20' container to Valencia, Spain.
For medium value goods
Garments Item with normal fabrication (not expensive as silk chiffon etc) (medium value goods)
US $2,295.00 for a 20'container to Valencia, Spain.
For High value goods
Silk Garments ( Expensive items)
US $2,800.00 for a 20' container to Valencia, Spain.
From the above example we understand that for the same 20' Container the shipping line charges very different rates.
However, at present it is very common to ship goods by containers and pay the freight for the full container, even if you sometime do not have the enough goods to fill up the whole container. The reason for this is
Example:
(Below are just an example, this example are not the exact freight rates as they change from time to time, but this is the concept commonly used)
Say, you are planning to ship the goods to European port by the CBM as loose cargo then the shipping line will charged you US $65.00 per CBM. In this regards please note that, we call the loose cargo shipment as LCL (Light Container Load) shipment.
But, if you intend to ship the same goods by the (full) container, they charge you about US $1,400.00 per 20' container. That’s mean in this full container case you will pay only US $47.50 per CBM where as for LCL cargo you should need to pay $17.5 extra/CBM .
These are approximate rates for shipment from Bangladesh to European ports, but they vary from each of the South East countries and to East or west coasts of the European ports. Hope, the above example can give you idea regarding the general relationship between the rates of loose cargo, 20' and 40' containers.
20' Standard Containers
A 20’ Container has the following inside measurements:
Length: 228" X Width: 84" X Height: 94”
= 228" X 84" X 94” by multiplying 2.54 (1” =2.54cm)
= 579.12cm X 213.36cm X 238.76cm by dividing 100(1m = 100cm)
= 5.7912m X 2.336m X 2.3876 m
= 29.50 CBM
A 20' container has an air capacity of 29.50 CBM, but when you ship goods packed in cartons or wooden crates, it can only hold about 27 CBM as there will be gaps or spaces wasted. So, if the rate of a 20' container is $ 1,400.00 your average rate per CBM will be about $ 47.50 That’s mean you are paying cost of 29.5 CBM for 27 CBM.
Above is the inside dimension but 20’ container means 20’ X 7’ X 8’
40' Standard Containers
A 40' container has the following inside measurements:
Length: 474" X Width: 84" X Height 94"
474” X 84” X 94" by multiplying 2.54 ( 1 ” =2.54cm)
1203.96cm X 213.36cm X 238.76cm by dividing 100(1m = 100cm)
12.0396m X 2.1336m X 2.3876m
= 61.33 CBM.
40' container which means 40' X 7’ X 8’ but this is the inside dimension of the container. Therefore, a 40' container has an air capacity of 61.33 CBM. But, when we ship the goods by packed cartons or wooden crates, it will hold only about 54 CBM. So, if the rate of the 40' container is $2,650.00 the average rate per CBM is about $43.50
Please be informed that there is a bigger container than the 40' High Cube.
The inside Measurements of this 40' high cube container are:
Length : 474" X Width : 84" X Height: 106" (12" higher)
474" X 84” X 106" by multiplying 2.54 ( 1 ” =2.54cm)
1203.96cm X 213.36 cm X 269.24cm by dividing 100 (1m = 100cm)
12.0396m X 2.1336m X 2.6924m
= 69.16 CBM
40’ high cube container which means 40’ X 7’ X 9’ but above is inside dimension.
A 40’ Hi Cube container is about 10 to 12% higher a 40’ regular container, and the cost of a 40’ Hi Cube is about 10 to12% higher, so the rate per CBM is about the same . There is very little , or on advantage in using a 40' Hi Cube as the rate per CBM is concerned. However, there is a great advantage when you have the amount of cargo which exceeds the capacity of a 40' container only by 5 to 8 CBM.
Please find below the list (collected from web) of some types of Containers
