What is a Techpack and Why You Need One for Producing your Fashion Collection
A tech pack is probably the most important document when producing your collection. It shows the specific details behind a garment’s design & construction and serves as a blueprint to communicate your vision to the manufacturer.
Having a well made tech-pack means that the final product is created to specific standards. The type of information normally contained in a tech pack would be detailed drawings, your measurements, materials and construction techniques. The Tech Pack might also include information about the fit an feel of the garment with branding and labelling instructions.
Creating a tech pack takes a fair amount of time and particular level of attention to detail, but it can ultimately save you time and money by minimizing mistakes and misunderstandings. It helps align both the designer & manufacturer.
What type of information should be included in a tech pack?
Sketch of Your Design: Detailed sketches of the front, back, and side views of the garment.
Material Specifications: Your fabric type, its weight, and the colour of each fabric as well as your trimmings, buttons, or other hardware to be used.
Measurement Chart: A chart outlining the specific measurements of the garment in each size is needed. This is essential to ensure that the garment fits properly.
Construction Instructions: Detailed information about the type of stitching, seam allowances, and other construction specifications. This helps to ensure that the garment is constructed exactly as you would like.
Labeling and Packaging: Key details about branding, labeling, and your packaging requirements. This helps to ensure that the garment is presented in a way that is consistent with your brand and vision.
When your tech pack is clear and detailed, you can rest easy that your vision will be realized with precision.
