A tech pack is the technical blueprint a clothing factory needs to make your garment — measurements, materials, construction notes, colorways and a bill of materials. To make one with AI, describe your product in one sentence in Genpire, hit Create, and it generates a complete, factory-ready tech pack across nine sections in minutes — then you export it as a PDF. No Illustrator and no experience required.
If you've designed a garment and a manufacturer asked you for a "tech pack," here's the short version: a tech pack is the instruction manual that tells a factory exactly what to make, how to make it, and what materials to use. Most clothing manufacturers won't quote or cut without one — it's the difference between a vague idea and a product a factory can actually produce.
Traditionally you'd build it in Adobe Illustrator or a spec-sheet template, which takes real skill and days of work. With AI you can skip that. This guide shows you how to make a tech pack for clothing in minutes using Genpire, step by step.
Describe your product in one sentence
Open the Genpire dashboard and, instead of sketching, just describe what you want to make in plain language — for example, "an oversized denim jacket with a raw hem and contrast stitching." Then hit Create. The AI reads your description and starts building a real product, no design software involved.
Generate the product views
Genpire generates front, back and side views of your garment from that same sentence. These are the visuals you'll use on a store page or a pitch deck — and they anchor the technical drawings the factory needs. Approve them to unlock the rest of the tech pack.
Open Specs — your tech pack is built
Switch to the Specs tab. This is your tech pack, and the AI has already built it: basic product specs, measurements, materials, construction details and a bill of materials are filled in for you. What used to be a two-day job in Illustrator is done in a couple of minutes.
A complete clothing tech pack covers basic product specs, measurements and grading, materials and colorways, components, close-up shots, flat sketches, print files, labels & tags, and a bill of materials — everything a factory needs to quote and cut accurately.
Review the nine tech pack sections
Genpire organises the tech pack into nine factory-ready sections. Scroll through them and check each one: the basic specs, the materials and the bill of materials, the flat sketches, and the labels and packaging. Each section is the way a manufacturer expects to receive it, so nothing is left to guesswork.
Edit any measurement or spec
Nothing is locked. If you want a longer sleeve, a different fabric weight, or a tweak to a construction note, edit the spec inline and it updates in place. You stay in control of the details while the AI handles the heavy lifting of structuring them.
Export your tech pack as a PDF
When the specs look right, open the Hand off tab and download your tech pack as a PDF. That's the file you send to a manufacturer — a clean, complete, production-ready document a factory can build from. From a single sentence to a factory-ready tech pack, in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a tech pack to work with a clothing manufacturer?
Yes. Most clothing manufacturers require a tech pack before they'll provide a quote or start production. Without one, your specifications aren't clear enough for a factory to price or cut accurately, and you risk costly mistakes.
Can AI really make a factory-ready tech pack?
Yes. Manufacturers care about the content of your tech pack — clear flat sketches, complete measurements, a detailed bill of materials and construction specs — not which software produced it. Genpire generates all of that in a structured, production-ready format and exports it as a PDF.
Do I need design or Illustrator skills?
No. You describe the garment in plain language and Genpire generates the views, specs and bill of materials for you. There's no sketching and no design software to learn.
How long does it take to make a tech pack with AI?
Minutes. After you describe the product and approve the views, the Specs tab populates automatically, versus the day or two a manual tech pack in Illustrator typically takes.
