How Much Does a Tech Pack Cost?

What is included in the indicative range?

Essentials includes front and back technical flats, a bill of materials, measurement specifications, construction notes and one consolidated revision. The handoff includes a digital PDF tech pack and editable specification tables. Drawing source formats are agreed in the written quote.

Why two styles can require different budgets

A simple tee with a defined construction and a clear reference needs a different amount of clarification from a multi-panel garment with unusual finishing. Material complexity, placement details and the condition of the starting brief can all affect the work. A photo alone may leave many decisions unresolved.

Separate documentation from physical development

Pattern making, grading, sample manufacture, fabric purchases, shipping and production are outside Essentials. A low documentation fee is not a total launch budget. Ask which external costs you will pay and who coordinates each supplier before comparing proposals.

When sample support may be the better starting point

If you need help aligning a pattern maker’s interpretation with the brief or reviewing a sample, consider Production Ready. Its indicative $700–1,200 range includes tech-pack work, pattern coordination, sample/fit review and two consolidated revisions. It does not include pattern-maker fees or physical sample costs by default.
