What does "14kg Rayon" or "16kg Rayon" mean when buying wholesale kurtis in Ahmedabad and Jaipur?

Short answer

In the Indian textile trade, "14kg" or "16kg" refers to the weight in kilograms of a standard 100-meter fabric roll (taka) at 44-inch width, or 1,000-meter yarn/loom beam calculation—roughly translating to 120 GSM for 14kg rayon and 140 GSM for 16kg rayon.

When sourcing stitched kurtis in Ahmedabad's Sumel Business Parks or Jaipur's Sitapura, wholesalers grade viscose rayon by "kg quality":

  • 14kg Rayon (~115–125 GSM): Standard commercial rayon used for ₹150–₹280 daily-wear printed kurtis.
  • 16kg / 18kg Heavy Rayon & Liva Approved (~140+ GSM): Denser, opaque, low-shrinkage viscose rayon used for premium embroidered kurtis and 3-piece sets.
  • Slub Rayon & Two-Tone Rayon: Textured weft variations that hide creasing.
