What is Garment Measurement Specification Sheet

Garment specification sheet is a part of tech pack and contains key measurements for a style. A spread sheet along with a graphical measurement guideline mentioning point of measurement. This is the most useful guide for pattern master when preparing pattern. A measurement spec sheet gives graded measurement of a style from small to large sizes. A pattern maker prepare different size pattern by referring this graded spec sheet. But this is not a complete tech pack. This does not explains other aspects of garment detailing. Printing , washing, garment construction and finishing details are not part of spec sheet. Below is an example of a garment spec sheet. As you can see the measurement spec sheet only reveals on measurement parameters. This only helps to create the garment patterns and sample development.

What is a Tech Pack?

Tech pack is a blueprint created by technical designer to streamline apparel production. This is a set of instruction a clothing manufacturer needs to set up production process. The production process includes fabric sourcing, pattern drafting, print screen and so on. Sourcing and garment processing gets streamlined with the help of a tech pack. So, factories ask for tech pack to quote production cost, and develop sample. This is an important document to achieve clarity and reduce error in production. In short, tech pack is a document used to optimize cost and maximize profitability.

So you must be wondering if we can use the measurement spec sheet to prepare the sample then why we need a tech pack? and what is a tech pack all together? A tech pack includes garment print and embroidery vectors, construction details. The measurement spec sheet is a part of a tech pack not the whole of it. Tech pack is a detailed instruction to create apparel starting from scratch. If you wan to know what goes in a tech pack please refer to my post “understanding measurement spec sheet“. You must specify fabric details, washing and wash care, prints, etc other than the spec sheet. So, you cannot relay on measurement spec sheet alone you need a complete tech pack. A tech pack designer ensure that every detailing included in the tech pack. This helps clothing manufacturer develop sample and produce garment smoothly.

As you can see on the above image tech pack, it shows all detailing that goes in a style. It also reveals the critical path method of what steps to follow what steps. if a clothing manufacturer follows this completely there is absolutely no chance that the production pics will have issues.
