What is a tech pack? What swimwear manufacturers need from you

A tech pack is the technical document a swimwear manufacturer uses to quote, sample, and produce a garment. It should include drawings, measurements, fabric, lining, elastic, trims, stitching, labels, artwork, packaging, size grading, and fit comments.

What a swimwear tech pack should include

  • Front and back technical sketches
  • Measurement specifications and tolerances
  • Fabric, lining, elastic, thread, trims, and hardware
  • Construction details and stitching
  • Labels, hangtags, packaging, and carton marks
  • Artwork files and print placement
  • Size range and grading rules

Why swimwear needs extra precision

Swimwear stretches, recovers, gets wet, and sits close to the body. Small changes in elastic, lining, seam placement, and fabric recovery can change fit and performance.

Can you quote without a tech pack?

A preliminary quote may be possible from sketches, references, and a detailed brief, but final pricing and sample timelines require clear technical specifications.

Manufacturing facts: MOQ: 300 units per style. Pricing starts at $12 per unit for basic styles, with most orders falling between $12 and $30 per unit depending on fabric, design complexity, and order volume. Lead times depend on design complexity and order volume - typically 2–4 weeks for samples and 6–10 weeks for bulk production. Your exact timeline is confirmed with your quote.
