A complete tech pack helps a factory assess feasibility, materials, sample work and production requirements without relying on guesswork. You do not need a perfect document to start a conversation, but the clearer your inputs, the more comparable your quote becomes.
Describe the garment clearly
Begin with front and back technical views or clear reference images. Mark the main construction points that affect cost or fit, such as seam lines, pockets, closures, hems and special finishing.
If you only have a mood board or sketch, state which details are non-negotiable and which are open to development suggestions.
- Front and back technical views
- Reference images and close-ups
- Construction notes and special finishes
Add measurement and grading direction
Provide at least one base-size measurement specification and state how you expect other sizes to grade. Measurements are essential for checking fit, pattern work and sample requirements.
When you do not yet have a measurement chart, identify the comparable product or target fit that the team should use as a development reference.
- Base size measurement chart
- Grade rules or target size range
- Fit comments and comparable garment references
Specify materials, trims and label requirements
Fabric composition, weight, stretch, finish and colour direction affect both sourcing and construction. Include trims such as zips, buttons, elastic, print, embroidery and packaging wherever possible.
For a factory quote, label copy and care information are helpful even if they are still in draft form. They identify compliance and production decisions that need review.
- Fabric composition, GSM and finish
- Colour direction or Pantone references
- Trim, print and embroidery requirements
- Brand label, care label and packaging direction
FAQs
Do I need a finished tech pack before I request a quote?
No. You can start with a reference image, sketch or existing sample, but a fuller technical pack enables a more precise review.
What does DONGFAN review first?
The team reviews the garment construction, measurements, fabric direction, quantity and target timeline to assess feasibility.
Can I upload references with my quote?
Yes. The quote flow supports reference materials and lets you provide further details after the initial quote.
