Quick Answer

A clear fabric tech pack saves weeks of back-and-forth. Here is what to put in it.

Fabric tech pack

A fabric tech pack is the brief that tells your supplier exactly what to make. The clearer it is, the faster you reach an approved sample and the fewer surprises you get in bulk.

Essentials

  • Fabric type and construction: for example satin, georgette, single jersey or interlock.
  • Composition: such as 100% polyester or 95% viscose, 5% spandex.
  • Weight: GSM, with an acceptable tolerance.
  • Width: usable width in inches or centimetres.
  • Colour: Pantone references or physical standards.
  • Finish: dyed, printed, RFD, foil, pleated and so on.

Performance and compliance

  • Colour fastness and shrinkage targets
  • Stretch and recovery for Lycra fabrics
  • Certifications required (OEKO-TEX, GRS, RCS, OCS)

Commercials

  • Quantity per colour and total
  • Target price and delivery date
  • Packing and labelling instructions
