How it works
Minimums are usually set per style and per colour. The calculator rounds that minimum up to a whole number of size packs, then multiplies by your styles and colours.
Example: a minimum of 50 with a 1:2:2:1 ratio. One pack is 6 pieces, so 9 packs are needed, giving 54 per colour: 9 S, 18 M, 18 L and 9 XL. Two styles in two colours each makes 216 pieces.
Choosing a size ratio
A ratio describes how many of each size you buy relative to the others. 1:2:2:1 across S to XL is a common starting point for adult ranges. Use your own sales data if you have it. The middle sizes usually sell fastest.

Common questions
Does every size need to meet the minimum?
Normally no. The minimum applies to the style and colour, and you choose the size split within it.
Why does the calculator round up?
So the size split uses whole garments in your chosen ratio. Change the ratio if you want to land exactly on the minimum.
