How To Create A Tech Pack

Can You Create Your Own DIY Fashion Tech Pack ? 

62. Yes, it is certainly possible to create your own fashion tech pack with little or no experience. But it can be very difficult if you have limited knowledge of how clothes are constructed, how to measure garments, or have no understanding of basic terminology used in the clothing business.

Tech packs are a significant cost for new designers producing small quantities of clothing on a limited budget. DIY tech packs can save you a lot of money, but can also be very risky  if you make any costly errors. The money you save on a tech pack designer may be worth the risk as long as you take measures to minimise those risks.

Using A Tech Pack Template.

There are many tech pack templates available on the internet that can be useful for new designers, but they will  rarely replicate your own styles sufficiently  to eliminate the possibility of  costly errors. A tech pack template needs to be as close to your design as possible. Because you are setting down in stone everything about how the garment is to be made, the factory will feel obliged to follow your instructions to the letter, rather than use their own judgement. And because your neck pack LOOKS professional, they will assume that you know what you are doing.

Although you  need  expert guidance, It can be cost effective to do some of the work yourself using templates. If you have a number of similar styles, it can be fairly straight forward to create your own tech pack using a template made specifically for you. This is why we offer the 1-1 tech pack workshops and classes.

 

The Third Way.

Apart from employing a tech pack maker, or creating the tech pack yourself, there is a third way that minimises both cost and potential risks. You could make the tech packs yourself, and employ our tech pack designers to sit side by side with you and check through your self designed tech packs.

Learn How To Create A Tech Pack.

(36). Our fashion tech pack workshop is designed to teach beginners and startup brands an introduction on how to create their own  tech packs, and how to measure and spec a garment. You can choose to take just the workshop, or follow with a complete course  on how to create a fashion tech pack.

With good teaching and expert guidance. We show you how to design and create your own  DIY techpack  to a high standard. It takes a lot of knowledge to become a professional tech pack builder, and requires some dedication tomlearning.

Professional Tech packs can prove to be  very costly  for   small startup brands on a restricted budget. Even a basic tech pack can cost as much as the pattern and sample combined.

We always suggest keeping these costs to a bare minimum where possible,as costs can mount up pretty quickly if you are not careful.

It is important when designing a tech pack to use  well understood formats and garment industry terminology, otherwise the factory may well misinterpret what you are asking for.

 

Templates.

 

 

Provide Your Own Designs.

If you already have some designs that you need tech packs for, just bring them along for us to help you create your own tech pack.

 

Tech Pack Workshops.

It is obvious from the many enquiries  we receive concerning tech packs, that most of our clients dont really understand what a tech pack is for. Or why and when they are required.

For a startup fashion business we will often advise against their use for sampling if we dont think they are necessary. They  can often be a waste of time and money at this stage.

Where they are really necessary is in the production stage. Because they require substantial professional knowledge they cannot really be done by non professionals without assistance.

While we do provide a tech pack design service, we often find that the best and most cost effective solution is to provide bespoke  tech pack classes for our clients.

In these 1-1 workshops we go through your designs with you and provide the information for you to complete  as much of the tech packs as you need, using our  templates, or your own.

We can advise you on the types of seams, or stitching. We can advise on which labels you need and what important information you need to supply for a successful outcome. If you have a number of designs that are similar, you may feel that you dont need to pay for a tech pack for each design.

Your Tutors.

We have several  tutors available  for this workshop.

Emile is based in Greenwich. He is a professional fashion  designer and  sample maker with many years  experience in the fashion industry.

Emile has an in-depth knowledge of clothing construction and sample development. He knows  exactly what is required by the factories  in a tech pack.
