Checklist before you send a tech pack to a factory
3 min read
Run through this list before a tech pack leaves your desk. Each item is a question a factory would otherwise have to ask.
- Style number, season, buyer and revision are filled in and match the file name.
- Front and back flats are present and match the measurements.
- Every POM has a code, a description, how to measure and a tolerance.
- The size run is graded, and any grade break is intended.
- The measurement diagram letters match the POM table codes.
- Fabric composition, weight and colourways are stated.
- The BOM lists thread, main label, size label, care label, hang tag, polybag and carton.
- Every BOM line has a consumption per piece.
- Construction lists every operation with stitch type and SPI.
- Artwork has a size and a placement measured from a fixed point.
- Labels, folding and carton assortment are described.
- The revision log says what changed since the last version.
The studio's audit checks most of this automatically and links you straight to anything missing.
