In garment and textile testing, GPT stands for Garment Package Test and FPT stands for Fabric Package Test.

Each buyer set guidelines for what all tests are mandatory at fabric stage and subsequent in garment stage. Buyers send this package tests list to their nominated testing labs. Prior to bulk production buyers asked for FPT and GPT test report from their vendors for production approval. Garment manufacturer then sends sample (fabric or garment) to the testing labs for FPT and GPT. Once garment manufacturer mentioned for FPT or GPT, testing lab perform all test according to the buyer test manual. In this package test garment manufacturer do not need to specify any test to the testing lab. Pricing of FPT and GPT is done based on the tests to be performed as per buyer requirement.
