What Is a Tech Pack? The Complete Guide for Clothing Brands

Everything a tech pack contains, why factories need it, and what to do when you don't have one.

A tech pack is the blueprint that turns your design into a producible garment. Without one, every quote you receive is a guess.

What a tech pack contains

  • Technical flats — front, back and detail views
  • Measurement chart — graded spec per size with tolerance
  • Bill of materials — fabric, trims, threads, labels with suppliers
  • Artwork placement — print/embroidery positions and sizes
  • Construction notes — stitching, seam types, finishing
  • Packaging spec — folding, polybag, carton marks

Why factories insist on it

A complete tech pack cuts sampling rounds from three to one and removes most quality disputes. It is the single biggest cost lever you control before bulk production — our how it works guide shows where it sits in the workflow.

No tech pack yet?

Many brands start with only sketches or reference photos. A manufacturer with in-house pattern makers can build the tech pack for you — our streetwear manufacturing team regularly converts moodboards into production-ready specs. Expect a small development fee, refunded against bulk orders by most serious factories.

Quick quality check

If a stranger can produce your garment without asking you a single question, your tech pack is complete.
