What is a Tech Pack?
A Tech Pack (Technical Package) is a detailed specification document that communicates every aspect of your garment design to manufacturers. It is the industry standard for turning creative ideas into production-ready garments — accurately, efficiently, and consistently.
A complete tech pack includes:
- Flat sketches (front, back, side)
- Detailed measurement specs & grading
- Fabric and material selections
- Construction and stitching instructions
- Colorways with Pantone codes
- Label, trim, and hardware placements
- Bill of Materials (BOM)
- Notes for sampling and special treatments
Why It Matters for Streetwear Brands
In streetwear, detail is everything — from the perfect fit of a hoodie to the exact tone of a dye. Without a professional tech pack, factories are left guessing, which leads to:
- Production delays
- Misinterpretation of your vision
- Inconsistent sizing
- Unexpected costs
A tech pack eliminates these problems by ensuring:
- Clear, error-free communication with factories
- Faster and more accurate sampling
- Consistency across production runs
- Professionalism when working with new suppliers
- Easier cost estimating and quoting
