A well-structured tech pack is the foundation for accurately producing knitwear that meets design intent and production standards
The unique behavior of knitted fabrics, including their give, rebound, and dimensional stability, necessitates precise and tailored technical guidance
A comprehensive tech pack bridges the gap between concept and reality, aligning all stakeholders on fit, finish, and function
First, define the garment’s role: is it casual streetwear, activewear, or high-end fashion?
Understanding who will wear it informs material performance, aesthetic tone, and durability requirements
Provide clear, annotated technical flats showing front, rear, and profile perspectives
Each sketch should meticulously show stitch lines, edge treatments, and any ornamental knitting techniques
Material specifications are non-negotiable—list the exact yarn composition, including fiber percentages, weight per skein, and thickness
Example: 80% organic cotton, 20% spandex, 200g per ball, single-ply
Always reference the vendor or mill to ensure consistency across production runs
The integrity of the final garment depends heavily on yarn consistency; small deviations can lead to fit failures
Indicate the machine model and needle gauge, as they directly affect texture, warmth, and drape
Note the number of needles per inch and whether it’s a single or double bed machine
Clearly define the start and end points of each pattern repeat with precise measurements
Flat measurements are absolute—provide a detailed chart with critical dimensions: chest width, shoulder width, sleeve length, body length, and more
Always state whether measurements are taken flat or stretched—knitwear behaves differently under tension
Define acceptable variance: ±3mm for sleeve length, ±5mm for body length
Precision is paramount—knitwear has no forgiving seams; accuracy defines success
Detail the seam construction method: flat-felled, overlock, chain stitch, or hand-sewn finish
Call out whether flatlock, overlock, or coverstitch is mandatory for each seam
Detail all edge treatments: double-fold hems, picot edges, elasticized bands, or tubular finishes
Label placement is critical—specify exact locations for care labels, size tags, and brand logos
Mention special packaging requirements: tissue paper, polybags, hangtags, or anti-snag guards
fail thresholds: "Max 2 pilling dots per 10cm²," "Shrinkage no more than 3% after wash"
Cite compliance standards: "Follow ISO 6330 for wash testing," "Comply with AATCC 150 for pilling"
A robust tech pack eliminates ambiguity, prevents misinterpretation, and minimizes costly production errors
Invest time reviewing your tech pack with a sample maker, pattern engineer, or production specialist before factory submission
Feedback at this stage can prevent weeks of rework, delays, and wasted materials
Remember: Women's Knitwear supplier design is forgiving, but knitwear execution is merciless—clarity and precision are your only allies
