Everything you need to know about fashion tech packs, garment measurements, and using Threadpack.
A fashion tech pack is a detailed document that communicates every specification of a garment to a manufacturer. It includes flat sketches, measurements, Bill of Materials, construction details, colorways, and labeling instructions — essentially a blueprint for your clothing item.
A tech pack includes: a cover page, flat technical sketches (front and back), Bill of Materials (BOM), measurement spec sheet, construction notes, colorways with Pantone codes, and labeling and packaging instructions.
A spec sheet covers only the measurements and technical details of a garment. A tech pack is a complete package that includes the spec sheet plus flat sketches, Bill of Materials, colorways, and all other production information.
A basic garment like a t-shirt requires 4 to 6 pages. A complex item like a jacket can require 10 to 15 pages. Every tech pack should include at minimum: a cover page, flat sketch, Bill of Materials, and measurement spec sheet.
Threadpack is an all-in-one tech pack design platform. You create garment visuals and measurement charts using the design tools, use AI-assisted features to generate clean structured tech packs, then export production-ready PDF or PNG files to share with your factory.

Yes. Threadpack provides a private workspace for every user. Your tech packs, designs, and measurement data are only visible to you unless you choose to share them.
To measure a garment for production: lay it flat on a clean surface, use a flexible measuring tape in centimetres, and measure each point of measure — including chest width, body length, shoulder width, sleeve length, and hem width. Record all measurements in your spec sheet.
A point of measure (POM) is a specific location on a garment where a measurement is taken. Standard points include chest, waist, hip, shoulder, sleeve length, and hem width. Using consistent POMs ensures accuracy between designers, factories, and quality control teams.
A measurement tolerance is the acceptable variation above or below a stated measurement. For example, a chest of 52 cm with a tolerance of ±1 cm means the factory can deliver garments between 51 and 53 cm. Tolerances should be included in every spec sheet.
Both are used in the fashion industry. Centimetres are more common in international production, especially in Asia. Inches are more common in the USA. Choose one unit and use it consistently throughout your entire tech pack.
