At the recent 8th China (Dongguan) Int'l Textiles & Clothing (DTC) Industry Fair, the newly introduced “Marker Making Competition” was a popular event for attendees as skilled marker makers competed to achieve the best possible material utilization. Gerber Technology provided all software and technical support for the competition.

The China (Dongguan) Int'l Textiles & Clothing Industry Fair has been held for several years with wide influence. The apparel industry is well developed in Dongguan and technical personnel there are experienced which has contributed to the continued development of the apparel industry. This competition provided them with the opportunity to demonstrate their craftsmanship.

The Marker Making Competition consisted of five preliminary trials with the top three competitors in each preliminary match qualifying for the final which determined first, second and third place winners. The competition required operators to use Gerber's AccuMark marker making function to finish a specific marker making task in a set time period (preliminary: 10 minutes/round; final: 15 minutes/round). After three days of exciting competition, Mr. Zhong Dongbing, from Verde Garments (DongGuan) Co., Ltd was named the champion, with Zhou Liping winning second place, and Mr. Lu Hanjiang from Xi Tai Long Deli Garments Co., Ltd. in third place.

For apparel manufacturers, material utilization affects cost, and marker making plays a key role in material utilization. Technical skills and experience are required in marker making and when combined with a convenient tool in marker making, efficiency and material utilization may be improved.
