Guides for fightwear brands · Sialkot, Pakistan
A section-by-section guide to writing a tech pack that any manufacturer can quote, sample and produce from, with fightwear examples.
Short answer: A tech pack is a set of documents that fully defines a garment for production. For fightwear it should include technical flats, a bill of materials, a graded measurement chart with tolerances, construction details (seam types and reinforcements), artwork placement and colors, label and trim positions, and packing instructions. Keep it dated and version-controlled.
A tech pack turns "make me a rash guard like this" into instructions a factory can follow without guessing. It makes quotes comparable, cuts sample rounds and keeps reorders consistent. If you ever change manufacturer, the tech pack goes with you.
Style name and number, season, brand, size range, colorways, date and revision number. Add a front and back sketch for quick identification.
Black-and-white line drawings (front, back, side if needed) showing every seam, panel, stitch line and trim. Call out details like "4-needle flatlock all seams" or "bar-tack at top of side split". Flats should be to scale, with no shading or artwork, so construction is clear.
Every material with its spec:
| Item | Example spec |
|---|---|
| Main fabric | Polyester/spandex 88/12, 200 GSM, white for sublimation |
| Contrast panel | Same fabric, printed black |
| Thread | Polyester, color matched to panel |
| Hem grip | 3 cm silicone gripper elastic |
| Neck label | Printed heat transfer, 5 × 4 cm |
| Care label | Printed satin, left side seam |
| Packaging | Clear polybag with suffocation warning |
List each point of measure (POM) with a clear description of how to measure it, the value for each size, and a tolerance. For a rash guard: chest width, body length (high point of shoulder to hem), sleeve length, sleeve opening, hem width, neck width. For shorts: waist relaxed and stretched, hip, front and back rise, inseam, leg opening, side split height.
Seam type per seam, stitches per inch, hem finish, reinforcements, waistband construction. Fightwear examples:
See our capability pages on flatlock stitching and reinforced seams.
Artwork files (vector or high-resolution), placement diagram with measurements from fixed points, sizes per garment size if scaled, color references (Pantone), and decoration method for each artwork. For sublimation, artwork is usually supplied on the pattern pieces.
Where every label goes and what it says, hang tag position and attachment, folding method, polybag type, stickers, inner and outer carton packing and carton marks.
A log of every sample comment, with dates and decisions. This is what stops old mistakes from coming back.

Many brands use Adobe Illustrator for flats and a spreadsheet for measurements and BOM. Specialist PLM software helps at scale but isn't required.
Detailed enough that two different factories would make the same garment from it.
Not a full one. The manufacturer's base spec plus your artwork, labels and packing details is usually enough.
