Before getting too far into the design process, consider these three important reasons how a tech pack will help your business:

What can apparel labels tell us? 

Nothing really.
This label says 97% cotton/ 3% spandex. This is the content of the fibers. This could be for anything from a t-shirt to jeans. Below are 5 other key ingredients not listed on the label to get the fabric you want. This information should be listed on your technical design packet.

1. Is it knit or woven? In most cases asking your self if it is stretchy or or not will help you with this question.
2. What type of knit or weave? For examp

Young designers—at the risk of insulting you, it amazes me how many of you don’t have the first clue about buying fabrics.
