Tech pack design studio, USA

Tech packs your factory can quote from without a single question.

We draw the technical flats, grade the measurements with tolerances, list every material and write the construction notes. Our studio team in the USA does every step by hand and answers your revision rounds by email. One PDF any factory can price, sample and cut from.

Inside a studio week

One style, worked on by hand.

A tech pack is not generated. It is read, drawn, measured and checked at a table, with the sample or reference beside it. These are the steps a style goes through before the PDF reaches your factory.

  • Overhead view of a team around a table with laptops, printed flat sketches, fabric swatches and coffee
    BriefReading a brief together
  • Overhead view of hands sorting printed sketches, fabric swatches and reference photos on a table
    ReferencesSorting references from a brief
  • Hands pointing at printed flat sketches and color swatch strips on a white table
    FlatsMarking up printed flats
  • Hands measuring across the shoulder of a fitted top with a tape measure
    MeasurementsMeasuring across the shoulder
  • Black and white photo of a team gathered around a white dress on a dress form
    FitA fitting on the form
  • Team at a table reviewing black garment samples beside large windows
    ReviewSample review

Each step has its own role: our team reads the brief, a technical designer draws and grades, a second person checks every measurement.

The team behind every pack

Real people draw every tech pack.

What’s in a tech pack

Every question your factory would ask, answered on paper.

Technical flats, points of measure with tolerances, bill of materials and construction notes, in one PDF. Some example pages have the brand removed; pages by other designers are credited, to show the same pages done well elsewhere.

Pages marked “brand removed” are example pages with the brand name taken out. Pages by other designers are shown with credit and a link to the source; they are not our work.

By garment

Tech packs by garment.

Scope

What we do not do.

We are a tech pack studio. We write the spec and hand it to you. What happens on the production floor stays between you and the factory you choose.

Hands holding a woven shirt placket finished with a contrast blue blanket stitch

Construction reference: hand-finished blanket stitch on a shirt placket. The spec tells the factory exactly this.

  • We do not manufacture.

    We do not make garments or place production. You take the file to the factory you choose, anywhere.

  • We take no cut of your production.

    A flat fee per style, stated upfront and not scaled to your order quantity.

  • No lock-in.

    The tech pack is yours outright once delivered. No licensing, no ongoing fees.

  • We do not take on what we cannot spec well.

    If your category is not one we can spec well, we tell you by email before any fee is discussed.

Want an NDA first? Send it and we sign it before the brief goes any further.

Where tech packs come from

Pattern tables, sample rails, pinned-up boards.

A good spec starts where garments are made and fitted: paper patterns, dress forms, trims and swatches on the table. That is the world our studio team writes for, and why every note says what a factory does with it.

  • Pattern studio with a dress form, pattern pieces on the wall and a cutting table
    Pattern corner
  • Brown paper patterns hanging on hooks with a pattern ruler
    Paper patterns
  • Reference photos, fabric swatches and a hang tag laid out on a table

No. A reference photo, a rough sketch, an existing sample or a garment you like the fit of is enough. If you only have an idea, the from-concept tier develops the construction first.

The file is built to a standard format any factory can open and quote from. We are not tied to any factory and you can take it anywhere in the world. The tech pack is yours outright, with no licensing and no lock-in.

No. We write the spec. We do not manufacture, and we take no cut of what your factory charges you for the run.

Yes. If you would like an NDA signed before sharing your designs, send it over and we sign it before the brief goes any further.
