Print or graphic artwork specs, packaging instructions, label artwork specs, and standards for sewing are sometimes included in a tech pack, but some brands keep these as separate documents.
Why would you want these sections in your tech pack? They are all details you’d need to know to make the garment. The more comprehensive you make your tech pack, the more accurate the samples will turn out.
So why do some brands not include these sections in each tech pack? They are either universal brand standards that apply to many or all garments or they are only needed by a certain vendor.
For example, the graphic artwork or label placement needs to be included in the tech pack so the factory knows how to place it on the garment, but maybe the actual artwork specs like color callouts and scale information stays in a separate document that only the printer needs.
The packaging instructions are not specific to one style, but apply to all garments of the same category (i.e. a set of instructions for packaging shirts, one for dresses, etc.) Each individual tech pack can reference which instructions should be used, but don’t necessarily need to contain the full set of instructions within it.
Sewing standards like how buttons get sewn, the stitches per inch (SPI) for different fabrics and finishes, or even how labels get sewn on are all best-practices that you can establish for your brand that can apply to all styles. Unless they are unique to the style or part of its design, they are sometimes specified in a separate vendor manual document.
