How to Check Tech Packs for Customized Apparel
Introduction
This guide provides detailed instructions on how to review tech packs for custom clothing items, using the example of a tech pack for "Not Medics Badminton" apparel.
Steps to Review a Tech Pack
1. Understand the Main Page
- The main page typically includes the title of the product (e.g., qzip, fleece, puffer).
- Material Reference: Check the material listed (e.g., fleece, cotton, sherpa) and ensure it's the desired one.
2. Material and Variations
- Material Types: Different products can come in various materials.
- Material Selection: For quarter zips, there are options like fleece, cotton, and sherpa. Confirm the specific material you want.
3. Customization Details
- Customization Sections: Review areas like 'Custom 1' and 'Custom 2' for names, numbers, etc.
- Placement: Ensure all customizations are correctly placed (e.g., "NP" on the front, "Treasurer" on the back).
4. Hem and Cuffs
- These are usually standard (elastic for fleeces, ribbed for cotton). Specify if you have a preference.
5. Pocket Styles
- Standard options are available (e.g., left and right pockets for fleece, none for cotton).
6. Colours and Swatches
- Match the swatches with the desired colours.
- Real-Life Photos: Ensure the colour shades match your expectations. Request more photos if needed.
7. Logo and Embroidery Details
- Check the size and placement of logos.
- Verify embroidery sizes and colors (white embroidery is standard).
8. Sizes and Custom Names
- Review the sizes provided against your records.
- Check the font style for custom names and ensure spelling accuracy.
9. Final Verification
- Double-check all details for accuracy.
- If unsure, contact customer service for clarifications.
10. Approval and Production
- Once the tech pack is approved, production will proceed based on it.
- Responsibility for accuracy shifts to the customer post-approval.
