If you have never seen a tech pack before then check this one out. There is no standard tech pack and the contents of your tech pack will vary from style to style, product to product. For example back packs have a lot of plastic parts, shoes have rubber soles and baseball caps have visors.

Tech Packs, Sample Creation and Price Quote
I know many tech pack freelancers both in Vietnam and around the world. I recommend you read my book How to Make Your Own Tech Packs if you want to save money. With tech packs in hand or a physical sample we can ask factories to make counter samples and get a price quote. Remember to prepare your quantity breakdown list because they will as about the number of pieces per style per color. Use my quantity breakdown template to get started.
Quality Control
I provide quality control services that include pre-production meetings, inline inspections and final inspections. How to produce a clothing line in Vietnam successfully includes a tight quality control plan. I will explain acceptable quality control limits and fabric testing basics like color fastness and pilling.
