The tech pack, and the factory to make it.

Start from photos, a sketch or a garment from the catalogue. The Studio's assistant asks a few questions, draws the technical flat and checks it against your photos, then builds the pack around it. Send it as an RFQ to approved factories that make that garment, compare their quotes and follow the order to delivery.

01One platform

Make the pack. Source the order.

Two products on one account, built to hand off to each other. The pack you make in the Studio is the RFQ factories quote on, so the spec never gets retyped.

03The Studio

Built for the people who write tech packs

Every change is an edit to the same document, so the flat, the size chart, the materials list and the PDF never disagree.

04What goes into a pack

Everything a factory needs to quote and sew

These are pages of one real pack: the varsity jacket above, exported by the Studio. 29 pages, all vector.

A cost estimate for planning

The Studio estimates the cost of making one unit from the pack itself: fabric from the measurements and the BOM, trims and labels, cut make and trim by country, decoration by artwork size and method, packing, and overhead. Each line shows its assumption and you can change it.

The order quantity moves every line: a larger order costs less per unit on fabric, trims, decoration, packing, sewing and overhead.

It is labelled an estimate, not a factory quote, and it stays with you: the page is off in the pack a factory receives unless you turn it on.
