Tech Pack 101: Why AI-Generated Specs Leave No Room for Guesswork

If you're new to product development, you might be asking: what exactly is a tech pack, and why do you need one? Think of a tech pack as the instruction manual for manufacturing your product. It tells the factory everything they need to know to get your product right. When a tech pack is incomplete or unclear, the factory is left guessing – and that's a recipe for mistakes.

What's in a Tech Pack?

A solid tech pack typically includes:

• Product drawings or flats: Visuals showing front, back, side views.
• Dimensions & sizing: Every measurement for each size or variant of the product.
• Materials & components: Exactly what materials to use (fabric type, plastic grade, etc.), including any specific part codes if applicable.
• Colorways & branding: The colors for each part of the product, and placement of logos or labels.
• Construction details: How it's made – stitch types, seam allowances, finishes, or assembly instructions.

Common Mistakes

For a first-timer, it's easy to miss some of these details. For example, you might specify a material but forget to indicate the thickness or finish, leading a factory to make an assumption. These gaps force manufacturers to guess, and you might not like their guesses.

Why AI Makes It Foolproof

This is where Genpire's AI makes your life so much easier. By generating the tech pack for you, it ensures no key detail is overlooked or left ambiguous. The AI has a checklist (so to speak) of all the info a factory will need. Measurements are precise, terminology is standardized, and nothing is left to interpretation.

The result? Your manufacturer can do their job without sending a dozen emails for clarification. You get faster, more accurate quotes and samples. In short, AI makes your specs foolproof.
