A Technical Pack, or Tech Pack as it is commonly known, is a blueprint for a final garment. It includes all technical specifications and design details that will make your product unique. It is basically a tool that designers and manufacturers use to communicate. Communication is a key factor in the quality of a final product.<\/span><\/p>\n
This post will explain the basics of creating a professional Tech Pack. We will also show you how to create Tech Packs quicker using cutting-edge fashion technology. A bonus video shows how to create a factory-ready tech pack in five minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n
These are just a few of the many reasons Tech Packs are essential for creating any fashion product.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Tech Pack is comprehensive and easy to read. It will help you obtain error-free samples that are consistent with your original vision.<\/span><\/p>\n
Your factory will be able to determine how long it will take to produce your product and, therefore,\u00a0<\/span>how much it will run<\/span><\/a>. The more detailed your Tech Pack, the easier it is for you to create your product.<\/span><\/p>\n
Once a manufacturer has received a fit sample, you can add a column called Fit Sheet to register the actual measurements. These actual measurements can be compared to the original measurements in the table and checked for tolerance. This allows you to adjust as needed and greatly improves fit quality.<\/span><\/p>\n
You will need to inspect each round of samples for accuracy in measurements, construction details, and materials. You can inform your manufacturer if any of these are not in line with your specifications and they will make the necessary adjustments.<\/span><\/p>\n
Tech Pack information is dependent on the product’s design and type. Here’s a list with the most commonly found information in a Tech Pack for garments.<\/span><\/p>\n
Fashion flats show every detail of a design from different angles (frontal, side, side, and even inside). These help the factory and the pattern maker to visualize how to create the first sample to achieve your desired look. They are usually done in black or white on Adobe Illustrator.<\/span><\/p>\n
