FREE TECH PACK READINESS CHECKLIST
Before You Send Your Tech Pack to a Manufacturer, Make Sure You Have Everything You Need
Use the Tech Pack Readiness Checklist before every handoff to catch those gaps first.

Use this free 9-page checklist to review your tech pack, catch missing or unclear information, and reduce the guesswork before your manufacturer starts your sample.

Created for Fashion Designers Who Are Ready to Move From Design to Production
Created by Mikelle Drew-Pellum, founder of 383 Digital Fashion Design Academy, the Tech Pack Readiness Checklist is designed to help emerging designers and fashion entrepreneurs communicate their designs more clearly before working with a manufacturer.
When a manufacturer doesn't have the necessary information to make your garment, one of two things happen: they ask for clarification or they make assumptions.
Neither is a great production strategy.
Your tech pack should remove as much of that uncertainty as possible.
