What is a tech pack?

A tech pack is a must-have document used in the fashion industry that serves as a blueprint for a product. It includes all the necessary details to guide manufacturers in creating a garment or an accessory, ensuring that the final product matches your vision.

Key elements of a tech pack include technical sketches, bill of materials, specs, construction details, colorways, and labels. By providing clear and comprehensive information, a proper tech pack helps streamline the production process and eliminate costly mistakes.

It is crucial that a tech pack is carefully thought out and contains all the necessary details in a clear and concise way.

My tech packs are extremely detailed but also well organized and easy to work with for both my clients and manufacturers. I have refined them over several years to give your product the best chance of success.

Why Do I Need Tech Packs?

Clear Communication: Tech packs provide detailed instructions and specifications for garment production, ensuring clear communication between you and the manufacturer.

Accuracy: They contain precise measurements, materials, and construction details, minimizing errors and ensuring that the final product matches your vision and brand.

Quality Control: Tech packs serve as a reference for quality control throughout the manufacturing process, helping to ensure the product meets your brand's quality standards.

Cost Efficiency: By providing comprehensive information upfront, tech packs help to streamline the production process, reducing the likelihood of costly mistakes or revisions later on. They also enable the manufacturer to give you accurate quotes.

Speed to Market: With all necessary details outlined in the tech pack, manufacturers can begin sampling and production more quickly, speeding up the time it takes to bring a design from concept to market.

Collaboration: Tech packs facilitate collaboration between designers, patternmakers, sample makers, and manufacturers, ensuring everyone is aligned on the requirements for each garment.

Work with the Best Manufacturers: Really good manufacturers are usually busy and might be reluctant to take on a new client with little experience. By approaching them with an excellent tech pack, you increase your chances of finding the perfect manufacturer for your brand.

Why 3D Designs?

Budget-Friendly Testing: CLO3D lets startup brands save cash by skipping several rounds of physical prototyping. You can try out designs virtually without paying for materials or sampling costs.

Quick Changes: With CLO3D, tweaking designs is fast. You don't need to wait weeks for a new sample to see changes to the design.

Seeing is Believing: Get a real feel for your designs with CLO3D's lifelike 3D images. See what it looks like on various body types and how different fabrics affect the drape and overall feel of the design.

Eco-Friendly: By cutting back on physical samples, CLO3D helps reduce waste.

Provide the Manufacturer with a Pattern: To create a 3D model in CLO3D, I have to first create the sewing pattern. Providing your manufacturer with a sewing pattern guarantees your physical sample will look exactly like the 3D model.

Stay Ahead of the Curve: More and more brands (from established high fashion brands to startup brands) are using CLO3D and I feel that in the near future, it will be a standard part of the design and manufacturing process.
