Templates

Essential Production Resources: – Tech Pack Templates: Complete blueprints for your activewear designs. – Measurement Spec Sheets: Precise sizing and tolerance guides for consistent fit. – Fabric & Trim Sheets: Detailed logs for material composition, GSM, and hardware. – Sample Approval Checklists: Streamlined workflows for reviewing prototypes. – Production QC Checklists: Quality control standards for bulk manufacturing. What Should Be Included in an Activewear Tech Pack? A comprehensive activewear tech pack template acts as the ultimate contract between a brand and a factory. Including the following components ensures clear communication and significantly reduces costly sampling errors: – Flat Sketches & Product References – Construction Details – Measurement Specifications – Size Grading Rules – Fabric Composition & GSM – Colorways & Print Placement – Trims, Labels & Packaging – Stitching & Seam Details – Sample Comments & Revision Notes – QC Tolerance Requirements Activewear Measurement Spec Sheet Documentation of garment measurements must be precise to ensure consistent fit across production runs. Brands should clearly define Points of Measure (POM), established [Size Charts](https://activewearspecs.com/size-charts/), and specific grading rules for each size. Including a tolerance range (e.g., +/- 0.5cm) and detailed fit comments from prototypes helps the factory understand the intended silhouette for [Custom Activewear](https://activewearspecs.com/custom-activewear/) projects. Fabric & Trim Sheet This section serves as a technical log for all materials. It should document fabric composition, [GSM](https://activewearspecs.com/fabric-guides/), and stretch percentage (both length and width). Additionally, include Pantone color codes, and specifications for trims such as heat-transfer labels, YKK zippers, drawcords, elastics, and final packaging details to ensure brand consistency. Sample Approval Checklist A structured review process is vital for moving from design to bulk production. Brands must systematically evaluate: – First Samples: Checking design intent and basic construction. – Fit Samples: Validating sizing on live models or mannequins. – Pre-Production (PP) Samples: The final “gold standard” sample produced using bulk materials. – Final Approved Samples: The signed-off reference for the factory floor. Production QC Checklist Quality Control (QC) is the final safeguard before shipping. A professional checklist includes verifying: – Measurements vs. Spec Sheet: Ensuring they fall within allowed tolerances. – Stitching & Seams: Checking for skipped stitches or weak points in activewear seams. – Logo & Print Placement: Confirming alignment and durability. – Fabric Defects: Inspecting for pilling, shading, or holes. – Packaging & Logistics: Verifying color consistency, correct labeling, and accurate carton markings.
