Frequently asked questions

A tech pack is the blueprint a manufacturer needs to produce your garment: flat sketches, measurements, materials and trims (the BOM), colorways, artwork placements and construction notes, all in one document. The clearer it is, the fewer samples, emails and surprises between you and the factory.

Apparel brands of any size that want factory-ready tech packs without a dedicated technical design team. That includes first-collection founders, established labels and freelance designers building packs for clients.
