Understanding Fabric GSM: A Complete Guide for Garment Manufacturers
A comprehensive guide to understanding fabric GSM and its importance in garment manufacturing.
GSM (Grams per Square Meter) is the standard measurement for fabric weight. This guide explains everything manufacturers need to know about selecting the right GSM for different garment types. Lightweight fabrics (100-200 GSM) are ideal for t-shirts and blouses. Medium weight (200-350 GSM) works well for dresses and shirts. Heavyweight (350+ GSM) is perfect for outerwear and denim. Understanding GSM helps in making informed sourcing decisions.
