Five Ways Your Tech Pack Gets Misread Before the First Sample

September 07, 2026 · DONGFAN Editorial Team

You sent a detailed tech pack, but the first sample comes back wrong — and you're told the spec "wasn't clear."

The hidden risk

Tech packs get misread in predictable places — missing measurements, unclear construction, ambiguous trims — and every misread becomes a wrong sample and a lost week.

How to judge

Before the first sample, walk the factory through the tech pack line by line and confirm every ambiguous point in writing — a 20-minute call saves a week.

What the factory must provide

A pre-sample tech-pack review that flags every ambiguity and confirms each point with you before cutting.

How DONGFAN handles it

DONGFAN reviews your tech pack point by point before the first sample, and asks before it guesses — so sample one comes back closer to right.
