PRODUCT DESIGN TECH PACKS


A professional grade tech pack is a crucial tool to developing your product and making the communication process more efficient between you and your manufacturer, yet so many brands overlook this vital step. You may be asking what a tech pack is? why you need it? or how to make one?
     Let’s break it down:
    • A tech pack is an informative sheet that designers create to communicate with a manufacturer all the necessary components needed to construct a product.

    • Typically, designers will include measurements, materials, pantone colours, trim, hardware, labels, tags, etc.

    • Any crucial aspect of your design needs to be described in your tech pack.

    • The more detailed a tech pack, the less margin for error.

    • This massively helps with the sampling process, getting you ahead of competitors on lead times.

    • Our Ethos : ‘Right first time, right every time.’

    DO YOU REALLY NEED ONE?

    With a tech pack, designers are more likely to get a sample or product made correctly with minimal errors.
    • Supplying a tech pack to a manufacturer gives a concrete guideline to your product,
      i.e. without one, difficulties may arise for manufacturers to translate your idea into an actual product.

    • It also allows the manufacturer to make a product without having to refer back to the designer several times.

    • When creating products, manufacturers can reference the tech pack to make sure they aren’t overlooking any aspect of your design.
