Technical Specification Packages
SampleDeveloping comprehensive, clear, and complete fashion design documentation for apparel brands, whether you are producing in small batches or large batch production.
The goal of the tech pack is to function as an instruction manual, to capture all details related to your design, to remove inefficient communication with the factory, avoiding avoid costly production mistakes or lags. Do not rely on the factory to “handle it” as it may be incomplete, inaccurate, or not reflect your true design vision. It’s your company, so you should own your design assets.
Masha DeHaan Fashion Development will prepare a custom estimate for a flat rate tech pack that you can use season after season with your factory of choice. The file is fully editable in Excel and can be shared as a PDF with factories to begin gathering estimates for full batch production.
