Tech Pack Services for Apparel and Sewn Products
Technical documentation that helps manufacturers build your product accurately and consistently.
Who This Is For
Whether you're documenting a new product, an existing design, or a sewn sample, a professionally developed tech pack organizes and communicates the technical information manufacturers need to build your product consistently. More than a collection of specifications, it helps manufacturers build your product as intended the first time and consistently across future production runs.
A Tech Pack Organizes The Information Manufacturers Need
A tech pack brings the technical details of your product together into one organized document. Measurements, materials, construction details, pattern information, labeling, and assembly instructions work together to clearly define how your product should be manufactured.
This service is ideal if you:
Need documentation for a new product.
Have a completed pattern or sewn sample that needs technical documentation.
Need to recreate or update an existing tech pack.
Need clearer communication with your manufacturer.
Need technical documentation to support production.
What You Need
Comprehensive Documentation Depends on Complete Product Information
A tech pack is only as comprehensive as the product information it contains.
Measurements, materials, construction methods, pattern details, labeling, and finishing instructions become stronger when they are based on informed product decisions instead of assumptions. Pattern Development, Sewn Prototyping, and Pattern Grading help answer those questions before production begins.
As more information is confirmed, your tech pack becomes more complete. The result is documentation that gives your manufacturer a clearer understanding of the product and supports more consistent production.
What You Get
Everything Manufacturers Need in One Organized Tech Pack
Every tech pack is customized to the product it documents. The more verified product information available, the more comprehensive the technical documentation can become. That information may be established before you begin, or it may be developed throughout the product development process. We'll recommend the approach that best fits your project and the information you have available.
Full Tech Pack
Built from a final pattern and sample - $1000 and up
This option documents the product decisions that have already been developed and verified through pattern making and sewn prototyping.
Construction methods, measurements, materials, and product details have already been tested and approved, providing the information needed to create a comprehensive tech pack for manufacturing.
This tech pack is 11+ pages and includes:
3D technical sketches throughout
Fabrications page
Material and Grade Layouts
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Pattern Pieces List (Cutter’s Must)
Sequence of Construction (SOC)
Callout Sketches for:
Details, Stitches and Fabrication
Label Placement
Graded Measurement Chart
Revision Tracking
Pattern Only Tech Pack
Built from an approved pattern - $750 and up
This option documents the product information established during pattern development before a sewn sample is available.
Existing pattern information provides a strong technical foundation while additional details can continue to be documented as samples are developed with your manufacturer and product evaluation continues.
This tech pack is 7+ pages and includes:
3D technical sketches throughout
Fabrications page
Material and Grade Layouts
Pattern Pieces List (Cutter’s Must)
Callout Sketches for:
Details, Stitches and Fabrication
Label Placement
Graded Measurement Chart
Revision Tracking
*Can be expanded to Full Tech Pack with Sewn Prototyping service.
Sample Only Tech Pack
Built from a finished sample - $750 and up
This option documents the technical information needed for products that have already been sampled and are one size or contain fewer than 5 pattern pieces.
Simpler products require less technical documentation while still providing manufacturers with the information needed to produce the product consistently from one production run to the next.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Tech pack services provide detailed manufacturing documentation for sewn goods and apparel. A professional tech pack includes technical sketches, measurements, grading, material lists, and construction instructions that manufacturers use to sample and produce garments accurately.
-
Professional tech pack services typically include:
• Scaled sketches
• Bill of Materials including fabrics, trims, and hardware
• Measurement specification charts
• Construction sequencing
• Seam and finishing details
• Label placement and branding specificationsThese elements ensure your garment is production-ready before sampling begins.
-
No. Many manufacturers can begin sampling from a sketch, reference images, or a rough prototype. However, development is not their primary role.
For best results, we recommend working through pattern development and sewn sampling with a professional product developer before engaging a manufacturer—even if that developer isn’t us. Without resolved patterns, fit standards, and construction decisions, factories are required to interpret incomplete information, which often leads to errors, delays, and additional sampling rounds.
-
A tech pack is a comprehensive production document used in apparel manufacturing to communicate all construction, measurement, grading, and assembly requirements needed for accurate and repeatable production. A spec sheet is typically a simplified document that may include only basic measurements, materials, or reference information.
Professional tech pack services document the final, approved state of a product—including construction, grading, and assembly details that can only be confirmed through pattern development and sewn sampling—making them suitable for bulk production.
-
Yes. Tech pack services can document an approved prototype or sewn sample and convert it into complete manufacturing documentation. This is especially useful when preparing to scale production or transfer to a new factory.
-
Tech pack services reduce manufacturing errors by clearly defining every detail before sampling begins. When measurements, materials, seam finishes, and construction methods are documented precisely, factories can execute with confidence and consistency.
-
We offer tech pack review services to evaluate existing documentation. If details are missing, unclear, or inconsistent, we refine the tech pack so it meets professional manufacturing standards and supports accurate production. More information can be found here: Tech Pack Review

You should invest in tech pack services before:
• Requesting your first factory sample
• Moving from prototype to bulk production
• Transferring to a new manufacturer
• Scaling your apparel brandClear documentation early prevents costly revisions later.
