Tech pack guides

What the document is, what goes in it, and how it changes depending on what you make.

Start here

A tech pack is the specification document a brand sends a factory in order to have a product made — the flats, the graded measurements, the bill of materials, the construction, the labelling and the compliance. It is the only artefact in the process both sides agreed to before anything was built.

These pages cover it end to end, and none of them ask for an email address.
