Build a clear specification
Prepare measurements, size grading, fabric composition, weight, color references, stitching, trims, care labels, packaging, and tolerances. A reference garment can help but should not replace written requirements.
Sampling and fit
Review construction and fit through an agreed sample process. Record changes to patterns, fabric, trims, measurements, and labels before approving production.
Compliance questions
Textile labeling, flammability, chemical restrictions, children’s product rules, and other requirements depend on the destination and product. Confirm the applicable rules before production.
Before you begin
Start with the intended use, target buyer, materials, dimensions, expected quantity, packaging, destination market, and any existing reference sample.
A useful decision checklist
- What is a tech pack?
- How should apparel samples be reviewed?
- What should clothing labels say?
