Story of Technical Apparel Designer Struggle and Success

Over a decade ago, I came to know the fascinating career of fashion design for the first time. It looked quite appealing to me as I was seeing this from the perspective of an end user. So I have decided to move on and tried to go deep into the world of fashion. The more I researched I found that there is a lot of ground work that goes into it before it comes to the public. But I was so prepared to understand and expertise in this field. At the same time, I felt if I could write about the detailing of my experiences on fashion it may help others as well. Especially, for people starting new clothing brand or  want to become technical apparel designer. So I started writing every detail I came to know and the difficulties I faced. 

It was just for my satisfaction I was writing and also to refer them for my future needs. It took me a while to understand the intricacies of clothing design and manufacturing. But I found them quite interesting and informative for the newcomers' start-up brand now. During this time, I think I have learned quite a bit about technical design and manufacturing. Most of this can be boiled down to just seven key learning, which all are pretty much ‘basics’. With following posts, I will be sharing  my experience working with the various clothing brand. It was not just about technical design but also the process towards a business building.

I could make out that you can never be a technical clothing designer if you have not worked at ground level. You need to spend time with clothing designers and manufacturers to understand the tricks. I spent my time with tailors, printing units, embroidery units and all other departments. Then I came to know what it takes to become an expert technical designer. Today I come across a lot of brands completely not aware of any detailing about clothing design. For a start-up clothing line, proper guidance is quite important. To make things easier I have simplified what it needs to start a clothing brand. If you are serious enough to know and grow your business it is important to know the basic process. So I would suggest you to refer to my posts for the particular aspects that you want to know about clothing design. I have simplified and mentioned steps you should follow to make your brand successful.

Technical Designer

What is a Tech Pack?

 A “Tech Pack”  is a set of design or style sheets which contain all the necessary specifications to construct a garment or a sewn product for prototype or production purposes. Tech Pack formats can vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer; some are in an Excel spreadsheet format and some are in a template format that can be completed by hand.

What are the necessary elements of a Tech Pack?

A “Tech Pack” must list all the materials and components of any specific garment or sewn product on a worksheet. The elements of a tech pack should include separate sheets for fabrics, trims, color ways, measurements, grade rules, and all related vendor information. At a minimum each tech pack should have the style number, season, size range, block number, specs, flat sketch, fabrics, and colors per style. These documents are generated and completed by the technical designer and finalized with merchandisers.

Why do I need a Tech Pack?

The “Tech Pack” provides the manufacturer with a detailed “road map” on how to make your sewn prototype, sales samples, or production. Every detail from the style number, season, thread color, embroidery placement, and vendor information is clearly identified in a tech pack. Many may contain specs and garment measurements, layouts for artwork, full color or black and white flat sketches, and information for labels and hangtags.   

What are the benefits of creating a Tech Pack?

Manufacturing a sewn product is similar to putting a puzzle together; you are presented with different shapes, sizes, and colors and it has to put together and finished just like the reference sample provided. A tech pack will tell you everything you need to know to construct the pieces and if followed correctly you will have the desired product. Each garment or sewn product must be accompanied by a separate tech pack and a reference sample. A manufacturer will not handle your production order unless you meet the basic requirements and provide them with a tech pack.

Additional Benefits:

• A tech pack can help you to stay organized and focused.
• A tech pack can help with pattern making, grading, calculating yields and costing.
• A tech pack also confirms that you have provided all necessary information to the factory.
• A tech pack will insure the accuracy of the final product.
