Marker Making

Marker making is the process of strategically arranging all pattern pieces onto fabric width to determine the most efficient layout for cutting, minimizing fabric waste and ensuring consistent production quality. At Megaya Bali, marker making is handled with precision to optimize fabric usage, support accurate cutting, and maintain alignment across every size—making it an essential step for cost efficiency, production consistency, and professional garment manufacturing.

A marker functions as a fabric layout blueprint, displaying how every pattern piece—from main panels to linings, facings, pockets, and trims—should be placed on the fabric before cutting. This layout considers grainline direction, fabric stretch, print alignment, seam allowances, nap direction, and the required sizes in a production ratio. A well-made marker prevents fabric wastage, cutting errors, mismatched patterns, and inconsistencies between batches. Without proper marker making, production costs increase, and garment accuracy becomes harder to maintain.

Megaya Bali creates markers based on your pattern files, tech pack instructions, and fabric specifications. While we do not create tech packs, we follow your layout rules exactly—ensuring optimal consumption, clean alignment, and accurate cutting during sampling and bulk production.

Our Marker Making Services Include:
– Fabric-Efficient Layouts: Strategically arranged pattern pieces to minimize waste and optimize consumption.

– Accurate Grainline Alignment: Ensures every piece follows correct stretch, direction, and structural requirements.

– Multi-Size Nesting: Layouts created for full size runs with precise grading integration.

– Support for All Fabric Types: Including knits, wovens, stripes, checks, directional prints, and nap-sensitive textiles.

– Cutting-Ready Files: Clean, clear markers prepared for manual cutting or automated cutting machines.

– Print & Pattern Matching: Alignment for stripes, motifs, borders, engineered prints, and repetitive patterns.

– Bulk Production Consistency: Ensures every layer of fabric is cut identically across hundreds of pieces.
