What is tech pack?
A tech pack — technical package — is the document that specifies one garment completely: flat sketches, bill of materials, measurements per size with tolerances, construction details, colourways, artwork and placement, labels and packing. It is written so a factory can make the garment without asking.
Why it matters
It removes guessing. But most first orders arrive without one — a garment photo, a logo and a quantity — and that is fine: we build the specification with you and you end up with a tech pack you did not have to write.
On our floor
Produced for every cut-and-sew order and approved before sampling. Our Studio's next step is generating the production tech pack automatically from an online order.
Common questions
- Do I need a tech pack to order?
- No. A reference garment or photos with measurements work; for decorated stock garments it is not needed at all.
- What matters most in a tech pack?
- Measurements per size, fabric composition and weight, and artwork placement measured from a seam.
- Can you make one for me?
- Yes — part of every cut-and-sew order.
- What format?
- A PDF with sketches and tables is fine; a spreadsheet for measurements.
