What is a Tech Pack and why you need it.
Getting your Tech Pack ( Technical Packet) together
Imagine building the house of your dreams but not having a blueprint. Tech packs are the blueprints of your design that allow us to manufacture your clothing into the world of fashion. Clothing manufacturers should know what it should look like from the front, back, the trim ( including all the accessories, labels, stitching, logos, etc ) , what material you would like and how you would like it to fit. Based on these details, a pattern Is created and we can then give you a price quote.
It’s important that we get a complete idea of what you’re envisioning so that we give you exactly what you need. There is little room for error when using a tech pack which is why it’s such a great tool and universally recognized in the apparel industry. Understand that by using the tech pack you are communicating your ideas to someone half way across the world, consider the tech pack as your written language.
Tech pack’s can be extremely detailed and is not easily created by the average consumer. It takes careful measurements and apparel know how in order to put one together. Literally each stitch, button, thread is accounted for and included into this tech pack so that clothing manufacturers know exactly what to create.
Real clothing manufacturers don’t accept verbal or written orders. They make it according to tech packs, so if you want true customized clothing, you have to follow the procedures.
In addition to all of this, not every factory uses the same templates to get your order fulfilled. So it’s important you deal with a clothing supplier that can formulate one for you and get you what you want.
