About Tech Pack

What are technical packages and why are they needed?

A technical package, also known as a tech pack, is a detailed document that contains all the technical specifications and information related to a clothing design. It serves as a blueprint or guide for designers and clothing production teams during the development and manufacturing process.

Here's why technical packages are needed:

1. Clear Communication: Technical packages act as a central reference point that helps in conveying every detail of the design. They provide clear and precise instructions to the production team, ensuring that everyone involved understands how the garment should be constructed and assembled. It helps minimize misunderstandings and ensures that the end result aligns with the designer's vision.

2. Design Consistency: Technical packages ensure consistency in the manufacturing process. They include important information such as technical drawings, construction instructions, dimensions, material specifications, and other relevant details. Having all these specifications in one place helps maintain uniformity across different production runs, ensuring that each garment is made according to the desired standards.

3. Quality Control: Technical packages play a crucial role in quality control. By providing detailed information about the design and construction of the garment, they enable manufacturers to assess the final product against the original specifications. This helps identify any discrepancies or deviations and allows for adjustments or corrections to be made, ensuring that the final product meets the expected quality standards.

In summary, technical packages are essential for effective communication, design consistency, and quality control in the clothing manufacturing process. They serve as a comprehensive reference guide that ensures everyone involved understands the design requirements and helps achieve the desired outcome.

What should a complete technology package include?

A complete technology package, often referred to as a tech pack, typically includes several essential components to provide detailed instructions and specifications for the production of a clothing design. Here are the key elements that a comprehensive tech pack should include:

1. Design Overview: A clear and detailed description or sketch of the product design, including front and back views. This helps communicate the visual concept and overall aesthetic of the garment.

2. Measurements: Precise measurements for each size of the product, including length, width, chest, waist, hip, sleeve length, and any other relevant dimensions. This ensures consistency and accuracy in sizing across different sizes.

3. Materials and Fabrics: Specifications of the fabrics to be used, including fabric composition, weight, color, and any necessary fabric treatments or finishes. This information helps ensure the correct selection of materials for production.

4. Colors and Pantones: Color references, such as Pantone codes or color swatches, to specify the exact colors required for the design. This ensures accurate color matching during the production process.

5. Bill of Materials (BOM): A detailed list of all materials required for the product, including fabric, trims, labels, buttons, zippers, and any other components. This helps ensure all necessary materials are procured for production.

6. Trim and Accessories: Specifications for all trims and accessories to be used in the product, such as buttons, zippers, labels, tags, or any other embellishments. This ensures consistency in the selection and application of trims and accessories.

7. Construction Details: Clear instructions and illustrations on how the product should be assembled and constructed. This includes details on stitching techniques, seams, closures, and any specific construction methods or requirements.

8. Artwork and Graphics: If applicable, any artwork, graphics, or prints to be incorporated into the design. This includes placement specifications, sizing, and any color requirements for the artwork.

9. Packaging Details: Instructions for how the final product should be packed, labeled, and presented for shipping and retail. This ensures that the product is packaged appropriately and ready for distribution.

10. Grading and Sizing: Grading rules and size charts for scaling the design across different sizes. This ensures that the proportions and fit remain consistent across various sizes.

Including all these elements in a technology package provides manufacturers with comprehensive instructions and specifications, reducing the chances of misunderstandings or errors during production. It helps ensure that your design vision is accurately translated into the final product.

What are the specific requirements for printing?

When it comes to printing your designs, we have specific requirements to ensure the best quality and accurate results. Here are the key details you need to consider:

Accepted File Types:

We accept the following file formats for printing:

- Adobe Illustrator (.AI)

- Adobe Photoshop (.PSD)

- PNG

Print Size:

Please adjust your design to the correct print size required.  For example, if you want to print a design with dimensions of 40 by 40 cm, make sure to adjust the size in the file to exactly 40 by 40 cm. It's important to specify your required print size when submitting your design.

Text Outlining:

If you are creating a file in Adobe Illustrator, it's recommended to outline your text or provide us with the font files used. This ensures that the text remains consistent and eliminates any font-related issues during the printing process.

Color Format:

Please send your file in either CMYK or RGB color format, depending on your requirements.

Color Matching:

While we make every effort to match the Pantone color of your design to the ink used for printing on the fabric, it's important to note that exact color matching cannot be guaranteed. Colors may appear differently on computer screens or printed paper compared to the final printed fabric due to variations in color calibration across different devices. If you have specific Pantone colors for your design, please provide the corresponding Pantone codes to assist us in color matching.

Print Description:

If you have specific requirements for placement, scale/size, repeat pattern, full print, or orientation of the printed artwork, please confirm these details before the proofing stage. This allows us to produce actual sample instructions based on your requirements.

Repeat/Seamless Mode:

If you have specific instructions on how to place, scale/size, repeat pattern, or achieve a full print and desired direction for your artwork, please communicate these details before the sampling process.  This will enable us to create actual sample instructions that align with your preferences.

Following these specific requirements for printing helps us ensure the best possible outcome for your customized designs.

Color system used for manufacturing, printing and dying

For dyeing, we use Pantone TCX. For printing, we use Pantone Coated colour system.
