How To Send A Tech Pack To A Bamboo Pajama Manufacturer

Introduction In the world of custom bamboo apparel, a Tech Pack is more than just a document—it is your manufacturing "blueprint." For brands working with a factory-direct partner like Velibamboo, a well-constructed tech pack is the difference between receiving a perfect sample and a costly misunderstanding. This guide outlines exactly what you need to include in your tech pack to ensure your bamboo pajamas are produced to the highest professional standards.

1. Professional Flat Sketches (Technical Drawings)

Your tech pack must start with a "flat"—a black-and-white technical drawing of your garment.

Front and Back Views: Clearly show both sides of the pajama.
Detail Callouts: Use arrows to point out specific features like the two-way zipper placement, fold-over mittens, and reinforced footies.
Internal Construction: If your design includes a tagless neck print or specific seam finishes, include a sketch showing the inside of the garment.

2. Fabric and Trim Specifications (The "BOM")

Bamboo viscose has unique properties that must be specified to maintain quality.

Material Composition: For premium stretch and softness, we recommend 95% Bamboo Viscose and 5% Spandex.
Fabric Weight (GSM): Specify the target weight based on the product, season, opacity, fit, and sample result. GSM alone does not establish tight-fitting classification or compliance.
Hardware: Explicitly state the brand and type. (e.g., "YKK Two-Way Reverse Coil Zipper" with safety guards).
Trims: Mention thread types (nylon or polyester) and any drawstrings or buttons (though buttons are often avoided in baby sleepwear for safety).

3. Detailed Colorways and Print Maps

Don't rely on digital screen colors.

Pantone TPX/TCX: Always provide Pantone codes for solid colors to ensure accuracy across different lighting.
Print Placement: If you have a custom print, specify the scale (e.g., "Duck motif: 2cm x 2cm") and the repeat pattern (e.g., "Half-drop repeat").
Strike-off Approval: Note that a strike-off (fabric swatch test) is required before bulk printing.

4. Sizing Charts and Graded Specifications

Bamboo is highly stretchy, so your sizing chart must account for the fabric's recovery.

Base Size: Typically, brands start with a 3-6M or 6-12M as the base size.
Grading Scale: Provide measurements for each size (NB, 0-3M, 3-6M, etc.).
Point of Measure (POM): Clearly define where measurements are taken (e.g., "Chest width: 2cm below armhole").

5. Construction Details and Seam Finishes

High-quality construction is a hallmark of premium bamboo brands.

Seam Type: Specify Flatlock Stitching for seams that touch the skin. It is flatter, stronger, and more comfortable for infants.
Stitches Per Inch (SPI): For bamboo, we recommend 10-12 SPI to maintain seam strength without damaging the delicate fibers.
Reinforcements: Mention "Bar-tack" stitching at stress points like the bottom of the zipper or pocket corners.

6. Labeling, Branding, and Packaging

Tagless Labels: Provide the artwork and placement for the heat-transfer neck label.
Care and legal labels: Confirm fiber content, country of origin, care, tracking, warnings, and other required wording for the finished product and destination market; do not copy a universal label template without review.
Packaging: Specify your fold method and bag type (e.g., "Compostable polybag with GS1 barcode sticker").
