How To Create A Tech Pack
Learn How To Create A Tech Pack.
(36). Our one-to-one fashion tech pack classes are designed to teach beginners and startups how to create their own tech packs, and how to measure and spec a garment. You can choose to take one class, or 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.
Although you need expert guidance, It can be cost effective to do some of the work yourself. 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.
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.
