A tech pack is the blueprint of a garment, the technical document that tells a maker exactly how to produce it. A clear, complete tech pack is one of the most powerful tools a brand can have, and a vague one is a common cause of delays and errors. Riccitelli Milano develops precise tech packs that protect your design and guide flawless production.
Whether you need tech packs created from scratch or refined from existing drawings, we provide the technical foundation your collection needs.
What a Tech Pack Includes
A complete tech pack brings together everything a maker needs to produce a garment accurately. It includes flat technical sketches with front, back and detail views, a full measurement chart, grading specifications, construction details and material and trim information.
Together, these elements remove ambiguity, so the garment that is produced matches exactly what the designer intended.
Why the Tech Pack Matters
The tech pack is where many production problems are prevented or created. A precise document allows sampling and production to proceed smoothly, while an incomplete one forces makers to interpret, adding revision rounds and the risk of misalignment.
Investing in a strong tech pack early saves far more time and effort later, protecting both your timeline and your design.
From Design to Specification
We translate your designs into clear technical specifications, capturing every construction detail and measurement. This bridges the gap between a creative idea and a buildable garment, connecting naturally to our product development and pattern making services.
Our experience in production means our tech packs are grounded in the realities of how garments are actually made.
Measurements and Grading
Accurate measurements and grading specifications are central to a tech pack. They define how the garment fits in the base size and how it scales across the size range, ensuring consistency from sample to production.
Getting these details right in the tech pack is what allows the garment to fit beautifully at every size, as explored in our work on grading.
Working With International Brands
A clear tech pack is especially valuable when a brand and its makers are in different countries. It provides a shared, unambiguous reference that bridges distance and language, ensuring everyone works to the same standard.
This is why we document specifications thoroughly, supporting brands wherever in the world they are based.
Why Develop Tech Packs With Riccitelli Milano
Because we also produce, our tech packs are written by people who understand exactly what a maker needs. This practical grounding makes them clearer and more useful than documents created in isolation.
