Understanding Tech Packs: A Key Step to Professional Production
Share
If you're starting your own fashion brand, there's one tool that can make your product development process a whole lot easier and more professional: the tech pack.
A tech pack (short for technical package) is a document that includes all the essential details your manufacturer needs to bring your product to life. It usually contains things like measurements, materials, design sketches, color codes, and small but important details like trims or labels.
Think of it as a guide that helps you and your production partner stay on the same page.
Why is it helpful?
When you're just getting started, it's easy to assume that sharing a photo or sketch will be enough. But in reality, manufacturers often need much more to create your product accurately—and without back-and-forth emails, extra samples, or unexpected surprises.
A well-made tech pack helps you:
-
Communicate clearly and confidently
-
Get accurate quotes and timelines
-
Reduce mistakes and misunderstandings
-
Stay consistent as you grow your collection
-
Feel more in control of the production process
You don’t need to be a designer or technical expert to use one—especially when you have the right tools.
At Build A Fashion Business, every course includes a professional, easy-to-edit tech pack template that’s been designed with beginners in mind. It helps you present your ideas like a pro and build trust with manufacturers from the very beginning.
AI mockups
The good news is, product development is becoming more accessible than ever. With the help of AI tools, you can now create realistic product mockups and visualizations before you even produce your first sample. This makes it easier to test ideas, collect feedback, and start building your brand identity early on.
