How to Prepare a Tech Pack
Quick Answer: How to Prepare an Apparel Manufacturing Tech Pack
A technical pack (tech pack) is the blueprint of your garment. It communicates measurements, graded tolerances, fabric specifications, bill of materials (BOM), stitching details, and artwork placement coordinates to factory production managers.
- Pattern Translation: Converted to master CAD blocks in Product Development & Pattern Engineering
- Prototype Validation: Validated physically in our Sampling Development Room
- Custom Apparel Scope: Supported through Custom Clothing Development
- Factory Assistance: Our technical team assists emerging brands in refining incomplete tech packs
Key Sections of an Effective Tech Pack
An effective tech pack includes: 1) Technical sketch with front and back flats, 2) Graded measurement chart with tolerance limits, 3) Fabric specification and GSM, 4) Bill of Materials (BOM) detailing threads, buttons, zippers, and labels, and 5) Print/embroidery placement dimensions.
Accommodating Knitwear Physics
Unlike woven fabrics, circular knit fabrics contract and expand. Tech packs for knitwear must account for shrinkage and stretch recovery. Our pattern masters review submitted tech packs and apply calibrated adjustments during CAD grading.
