Creating a commercial apparel collection requires clear, unambiguous technical documentation. A garment tech pack (technical specification package) serves as the master blueprint for your manufacturer—defining fabric composition, construction techniques, accurate measurements, vector CADs, Pantone colors, and branding placements.
Without precise tech packs, fashion brands face costly sampling delays, incorrect fabric sourcing, inconsistent fit grading, and budget overruns. Hawthorn’s UK-managed technical design team collaborates directly with global fashion start-ups, emerging designers, and established SMEs to convert sketches, mood boards, or physical garments into factory-ready production specifications.
Whether manufacturing locally or sourcing overseas, factories require exact dimensional tolerances, seam construction logic, and raw material specifications. A complete tech pack guarantees your creative vision is produced with total fidelity.
We offer tiered technical design packages structured around garment complexity—from standard cut-and-sew apparel to high-performance activewear and intricate outerwear.
Designed for classic streetwear, t-shirts, hoodies, and straightforward garment silhouettes.
Includes dedicated one-on-one technical design consulting to refine style details prior to sampling.
Engineered for multi-panel activewear, structured denim, padded outerwear, and technical garments.
Our experienced UK account team and technical apparel designers guide you through a structured 4-step workflow to ensure your specifications are production-ready.
Submit your design ideas, mood boards, hand sketches, or physical reference garments. We capture your brand targets, intended fit, and material preferences.
Our graphic and garment engineers draft precise 2D vector CAD flats with detailed callouts for pocket styles, necklines, stitching details, and hardware placement.
We build a complete Bill of Materials (BOM), assign standardized Pantone TPX/TCX color codes, specify fabric weights (GSM), and create graded measurement spec tables.
You review the complete PDF tech pack package. Once approved, your document is handed directly to pattern cutters and sample makers for immediate prototyping.
A professional garment tech pack contains every piece of technical data required by a modern apparel factory. Nothing is left to assumption.
Key technical insights to help global procurement managers, brand founders, and apparel designers prepare for production.
Our tech pack development process begins with a detailed technical discovery brief. You provide sketches, visual references, or existing garment measurements. Our technical designers work directly with you to establish vector CAD flats, select fabric compositions and GSM, define stitch construction, and generate complete Bill of Materials (BOM) files suitable for factory sampling.
A standard Hawthorn tech pack includes:
No prior technical drafting experience is necessary. If you only have rough hand sketches, mood boards, or physical garments you wish to replicate or modify, our design team can translate your vision into professional vector graphics and complete technical specification sheets.
Tech packs remove operational ambiguity between brand management and factory lines. They establish legal standards for fit, finish, and quality control, prevent costly manufacturing mistakes, and enable fast, accurate unit price quoting from suppliers.
Yes. If your brand already has completed, production-ready tech packs, our UK merchandising team can immediately evaluate your files to provide accurate fabric sourcing options, prototype timelines, and bulk production estimates.
