Translate Apparel Designs to Actionable Steps - Tech Packs

Weather you make a simple t-shirt o a designer garment with complex cuts. You need a garment measurement specification. I was searching through google for finding out what is the standardized formula that goes with every garment measurement specs. However, Not a single article or post I found in google which says the correct methods to prepare garment measurement specification sheet. This is because our body structure although similar in all human beings but yet quite diverse. what I could get from the details are not enough to prepare the complete garment specification. You need a tech pack designer and garment fit technician to prepare the garment specs for your styles and there is no other way out of it. I am still in search and trying to find out if there can be any standardized formula available for preparing the complete garment spec sheet. This needs a lots of research and experimentation. 

What is a Clothing Specification Sheet ? 

Clothing Specification sheets provide important details to ensure correct execution of your patterns into finished garments. Spec sheets help to produce accurate samples, which improves turnaround time and simplifies communication during all stages of manufacturing and quality control.

Spec sheets include detailed technical diagrams, construction notes, finished garment measurements, fabric yields and material and trim details. We can tailor the format and information provided to suit your company’s individual needs. All specs are in Excel spreadsheet format and can be easily transferred through e-mail.

Technical Design Packet is also known as spec sheets or specification sheets in the industry. These are quality control documents that are used to instruct the making of your garment. They set up parameters for construction methods, sizing standards and raw materials used. We also offer service to provide a complete spec sheet for a design fee.

Technical Design - Un Recognized Aspect of Fashion

Most fashion colleges in India and abroad give less Importance to technical apparel design as compared to trend forecasting, Creative design and textile etc. However, In real field the use of technical apparel design is much vast and wide as compared to creative design. So far I have came across numerous fashion designers who do not have even little knowledge on garment fit techniques. Several fashion collages have sent their trainees to my organisation but non of them have any sound training on Apparel Technical Design. This is something which lacks not only in India but also in the countries  where fashion is on its pick.

Countries like India , Bangladesh, Vietnam and China lack these resources and those few designers who are there and sound on technical design charge too high for providing garment fit techniques. This results in low quality products and mass rejections from quality assurance team. In this blog and few of my other blog posts I have mentioned in detail what technical design is all about. Like process flow in Management garment manufacturing goes through certain process and for every style the process may change from operation to operation. The Planning of those operations can be well determined from the Technical Design of the Style. So if a garment style has well technical design document the process flow planning gets much smoother and this leads to faster production process and quality output. So the role of a tech pack designer is crucial for the brand to offer quality products.

New Apparel Brands usually do not follow the process due to the cost involved in it. This leads to increased production cost, low productivity and lower rate of return. However, The ones who are follow the process may feel expensive process in the beginning but going forward they will see the returns of their investment. It is up to you to understand what best for your business. Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.

Apparel Brand Design and Brand Positioning

Apparel Brand Positioning

Every Apparel Design project is different and every client differs. An apparel designer can’t give an accurate quote until a design brief is in place. I don’t work with people who place little value on their identity, so it works both ways. There’ll always be business owners who understand the importance of a strong visual design. Moreover, There are clients who ask for quite huge amount of work with a cheapest possible way trying to manipulate things in different ways. That's quite tricky for an apparel designer to negotiate. The solution for them is to stick to what you are worth. It is always better to say no to something you can not do then dragging it up. Saves a lot of time.

Every Apparel Brand must do a study of the mind and emotions of their customers in relation to the sense of beauty and style. Apparel brand is different in terms of its design aesthetics, integrity and concept. So we have many parameters that we have to consider while positioning the brand.

Market positioning and its importance is one of the most important factors and it should be addressed both in macro and micro level. This gives the fuel to the other aspects such as price point, Product, promotion and physical distribution of the brand and its outcome. The most important part is the positioning in the Indian consumer mind-space. When you talk about your existing competitions there are many however, keeping in view the current scenario there is a huge number of chance that you can also emerge as one of unique and niche market for yourself. Still lots of new brands and labels are coming to the market and they get their share. What needed is how you appeal the middle class and relatively lower income group which needs the product good enough at the same time fits the pocket. Secondly how you put your product across in relatively low competitive places where you can leverage the maximum from the market.
