Cad drawings... Tech Drawings.. What are those?

Picture
Tech Drawings, or sometimes called "CAD" Drawings are line art drawings of your garments that show all the details such as pockets, stitching, buttons and more.

​We are happy to help you with these drawings if you need assistance, you can send us photos of the garments ( front, back, and any details) alongside any notes and we will translate them into working CAD Drawings for you to use.

What is a Tech Pack anyway? 

Picture
A tech pack is also known as a specification sheet. Tech packs contain detailed information about your garment design like the size measurements, care label instructions, art-work placement, fabric specifications, packing instructions etc. Factories use your tech pack to quote price and make samples.

A tech pack is the bible of your garment, it tells a story about each aspect of the garment and is imperative for the manufacturer to make your item.

The more details, the better result.

Ok. What about a Spec Sheet?

Picture
A Spec Sheet or "specification sheet" is apart of the Tech Pack, but can also be purchased separately. It includes your technical drawings, alongside measurement points.  This can be good if you want to work with a Patternmaker first instead of going direct to a Manufacturer.
