After all this discussion about what doesn’t or only sometimes goes in a tech pack, let’s talk about what should always go in a tech pack.
- Flat sketches
- Style name/number
- Size range
- Bill of materials
- Construction callouts (often called technical sketches) – don’t forget the inside!
- Trim or fusible placement
- Label placement or reference to label placement standard
- Graded spec chart
- Proto comments page(s)
Even without the optional and sometimes-included sections, a tech pack is a comprehensive document that details how your garment is made.
