What is a
technical
sheet?
A technical data sheet (TDS) is
a document provided with a
product that lists various pieces
of information about the
product. Oftentimes, technical
data sheets include product
composition, methods of use,
operating requirements,
common applications,
warnings and pictures of the
product.

A technical data sheet may


also be known as a product
data sheet.
Technical data sheets are
instruments for the effective
and seamless transmission of
technical or safety-related
information about one or more
specified substances and
mixtures usually created by the
company producing them.

TDSs convey necessary data


and handling
recommendations for the end
users. They serve as a way to
relay relevant information that
can be useful in health
protection, safety in the
workplace and environmental
protection. TDSs also include
information on product
performance, materials used in
its making, intended handling,
suggested applications and
installation and maintenance
advice.

The availability of this technical


data is important for trade.
Different countries specify
requirements for technical

data and samples for analysis
to determine the product’s
quality and whether it
complies with regulations.
There are nine steps for
developing a TDS :

Identify the origin of the


substance.
Indicate the availability.
Describe the processing
methods for the ingredients.
List all classifications which are
relevant for the product.
Provide a physical analysis
and a chemical analysis.
State compliance along with
international standards.
Indicate storage conditions for
the product.
Identify potential applications.
List the related certificates.

Why is a Tech Pack important?

Here are some of the reasons why Tech Packs are a must-have when creating any fashion product:

It saves you time and money

A comprehensive and easy-to-read Tech Pack helps you get error-free samples that match your
original vision.

It helps with an accurate price quotation

The more detailed your Tech Pack is, the easier it will be for your factory to gauge how much time it
will take to make your product and, thus, how much it will cost.

Tech Packs help improve fit quality

When a fit sample is received from the manufacturer you can add a custom column, called Fit
Sheet, and register the actual measurements. You can compare these actual measurements to the
initial measurements in the table and check whether the particular dimensions are within tolerance.
This gives you room to adjust accordingly and significantly improves fit quality.

It's a reference point for quality control

For every round of samples, you’ll have to check its points of measurements, materials, and
construction details. If any of those deviate away from your specifications you can tell your
manufacturer and they can make the necessary changes.

It helps you collaborate in teams

A Tech Pack can be transformed from a mere document to a collaborative environment


where designers, product developers, buyers, and quality control planners work together to
create better products faster.

What does a Tech Pack include?


The information included in a Tech Pack is subjective to the type of product and its design.
But here's a list of the most common information included in a typical garment Tech Pack.
