CREATE A TECH PACK

A tech pack is the foundation for clean, predictable, and reproducible textile production. If you want to have clothing produced, you need more than just an idea, a sketch, or a reference image.

For professional textile production, all important product details must be clearly documented. That's precisely what a tech pack for.

A complete tech pack reduces misunderstandings between you and production. The more precise the information, the better the materials, workmanship, effort, and production costs can be estimated.

We support you in preparing your textile production and developing production-ready documents for textiles from your ideas.

A tech pack is a technical production basis for a textile product. It describes precisely how a garment or other textile is to be manufactured. This includes not only the design, but also dimensions, materials, colors, processing, finishes, labels, accessories, and quality requirements.

A tech pack for clothing serves as a shared working basis between you, us, and production. It ensures that all parties involved use the same information. This reduces queries, improves quote calculations, and allows for clearer planning of production steps.

IMPORTANT:

A tech pack is not just a rough sketch of an idea. It's a structured document that translates your idea into technical production information.

WHAT IS A TECH PACK?

A tech pack is a technical document for textile production. It contains all the important information about a product, such as dimensions, materials, colors, workmanship, seams, finishes, labels, accessories, and packaging. It serves as a clear production basis for manufacturers, suppliers, and textile service providers.

WHY DO I NEED A TECH PACK FOR TEXTILE PRODUCTION?

A tech pack reduces misunderstandings between you, the manufacturer, and production. The more precise your textile production documentation is, the better the effort, material requirements, feasibility, and costs can be estimated. A complete tech pack also helps to implement Sample , approvals, and series production in a more structured manner.

WHAT BELONGS IN A TECH PACK?

A tech pack includes product description, technical drawings or sketches, Cut/fit sample and measurement chart, size chart, material specifications, colors and color codes, processing instructions, seams, finishes such as printing or embroidery, placement of logos and labels, accessories such as buttons or zippers, and special quality requirements.

CAN I CREATE MY OWN TECH PACK?

Yes, you can create a tech pack yourself if you clearly document all the important product details. Essential elements include unambiguous dimensions, clear sketches, precise material specifications, color information, processing instructions, and details on finishing. The more structured your tech pack is, the easier it will be to check and calculate the costs of your textile production.

CAN YOU CREATE A TECH PACK FOR ME?

Yes, we can assist you in creating a tech pack if you don't have complete production documentation or are unsure about it. For this, we need your existing information, such as sketches, reference images, dimensions, material requirements, or finishing ideas. Creating a tech pack through us is subject to a fee, as it requires time, expertise, and technical development.

HOW DO I CREATE A TECH PACK STEP BY STEP?

Start with a clear product description. Add sketches or technical drawings. Then enter measurements, size chart, materials, colors, seams, workmanship, labels, print data, embroidery data, and accessories. Finally, check that all information is complete, unambiguous, and consistent. A tech pack template can help you structure the information effectively.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SKETCH AND A TECH PACK?

A sketch usually only shows the idea or design of a product. A tech pack goes significantly further: It describes in technical detail how the product is to be manufactured. This includes specific dimensions, materials, colors, seams, workmanship, finishes, placement, and quality requirements. A tech pack is therefore not just a conceptual sketch, but a production plan.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY TECH PACK IS INCOMPLETE?

Incomplete tech packs often lead to queries, misunderstandings, delays, or additional costs. Missing dimensions, unclear materials, incorrect color codes, or inaccurate logo placement can prevent Sample or products from being implemented as intended. Therefore, production documents should be carefully reviewed before approval.

DO I NEED A SEPARATE SIZE CHART FOR EACH SIZE?

A tech pack should typically include a complete size chart if the product is manufactured in multiple sizes. This allows production to track how width, length, sleeve length, waist, or other measurements change for each size. A clear size chart improves cost calculation and quality control.

CAN A TECH PACK ALSO INCLUDE PRINTING, STICKERS AND LABELS?

Yes, a tech pack should specify finishing options such as printing, embroidery, labels, patches, or woven labels as precisely as possible. This includes placement, size, colors, print data, embroidery data, and instructions for the desired execution. This way, production knows where logos, designs, or labels should be placed and what requirements need to be met.

A complete tech pack contains all the information relevant to the production of your product. This includes a clear product description, technical drawings or sketches, as well as details on the Cut/fitsample and size chart. Measurements, size charts, and fit instructions are particularly important so that production understands the desired proportions.

Furthermore, the tech pack should include material specifications, fabric qualities, colors, and color codes. It should also describe workmanship, seams, hem types, cuffs, interior finishing, and any special quality requirements.

must print be clearly specified. This includes the placement of logos, prints, and labels, the size of the designs, and information on the desired technique. Accessories such as buttons, zippers, cords, eyelets, or patches are ideally listed in a parts list. Packaging information can also be part of the tech pack.

You can prepare your tech pack yourselfby structuring your product idea step by step. Start with a short description:

What is to be produced, what purpose is the product intended for, and what properties are important?

Next, gather reference images, sketches, or technical drawings. Add measurements, sizes, and fit requirements.

If a Cut/fit sample and a size chart already exist, they should be clearly named and uniquely assigned.

In the next step, you define fabrics, material compositions, colors, and color codes.

Also describe how the product should be processed:

  • Which seams are visible?
  • Are there any special details?
  • Where should labels, prints, embroideries , or patches be placed?

Finally, check that all information is understandable, complete, and consistent. The clearer your tech pack is structured, the better you can calculate costs,sample, and produce.

Common errors arise from inaccurate measurements, missing size charts, unclear material specifications, or undefined colors. Missing logo placement, ambiguous print data, or incomplete information on labels and accessories also quickly lead to inquiries.

If information is missing, production cannot reliably assess how your product should be implemented.

This can lead to incorrect materials, inconsistent processing, misunderstandings, additional costs, or delays. Therefore, it is advisable to carefully review a tech pack before requesting or releasing it for production.

Yes, we can support you in creating a tech pack. This is particularly useful if you have an idea, sketches, reference images, or initial product specifications, but not yet complete technical production documentation.

Creating a tech pack for you is subject to a fee. The reason is simple: it requires time, expertise, technical development, and precise preparation of your information.

We are checking what information is already available, what details are missing, and whether a production-ready tech pack for textile production can be created from it.

Send us your existing documents, sketches, ideas, reference images, measurements, or finishing requests. We will check whether your information is sufficient for a quote or whether a tech pack should be created.

This way you can prepare your textile production in a targeted manner and create the basis for professional implementation.
