Inside the Tech Pack: Why It’s Vital for Apparel Production

Why It's Vital for Apparel Production

No tech pack? No production. Period. A tech pack is the blueprint of your garment. Without it, factories are left guessing—and guesswork kills quality.

What’s in a Tech Pack?

  • Technical sketches (flat drawings)
  • Fabric and trim details
  • Measurement specs
  • Stitching and seam
  • instructions
  • Label and tag placement
  • Pantone colors and print artwork

Why It Matters:

  • Reduces Miscommunication: Everyone works from the same source of truth.
  • Avoids Costly Errors: Wrong stitch? Wrong pocket placement? That’s money lost.
  • Faster Sampling: Clear instructions mean fewer revisions.

Common Mistake:

DIY tech packs from Canva or Pinterest templates often miss crucial data. Invest in one done by a professional—your factory will thank you (and so will your bottom line).

Bonus Tip:

Factories are more likely to take your project seriously if your tech pack looks professional. It screams: “This brand knows what it’s doing.”
