Activewear tech packs · $299 per style

Activewear tech pack, ready for your factory.

Performance pieces move with the body, so the spec has to say how far and how they come back. We call out the seam type seam by seam, relaxed and extended measurements, and the waistband, gusset and underband build.

The team behind every pack

Real people draw every tech pack.

Our studio team in the USA drafts every flat, measurement and note, and answers your revision rounds by email. No template generator, no guesswork.

Where it goes wrong

Where activewear fails: stretch and seams.

Stretch pieces are judged on how they move and recover. Most of what goes wrong is a number or a seam type nobody wrote down.

Sports bra + legging · FrontRisk points
12345

  1. Underband with no recovery spec

    The underband does the support work. If its elastic and depth are not named, the factory uses what it has and the band relaxes after a few wears.

    In the spec underband elastic type and width, depth, relaxed and extended measurement.

  2. One waist number for a stretch waist

    A stretch waist has two sizes: at rest and pulled on. Collapse them into one number and nobody can check the fit.

    In the spec waist relaxed and waist extended, each with its own tolerance.

  3. Waistband elastic left open

    Elastic width sets the look; elastic type sets the recovery. A braided elastic narrows and loses tension faster than a knitted or woven one.

    In the spec elastic construction, width and elastane content, waistband build and how it attaches.

  4. Gusset missing or undimensioned

    Four seams meeting at one point is where a slim, moving garment splits. A factory will not add a panel you never asked for.

    In the spec gusset shape drawn on the flat, with its dimensions and seam type.

  5. Seam type left to the line

    Flatlock, coverstitch and overlock look and feel different against skin and stretch differently. Leave it open and each seam gets the line's default.

    In the spec seam type and stitch per seam, drawn on front, side and back views.

Numbers match the balloons on the drawing. Source: our sweatpants and tech pack template guide.

Points of measure

Seven points, relaxed and extended.

Every point gets a base size, a grade and a tolerance. Where the fabric stretches, the spec says whether the figure is relaxed or extended.

In the pack

What your activewear pack actually contains.

The standard sections, with every view drawn front, side and back and the stretch detail performance fabric needs.

01 Flats and views

Front, side and back, because panel seams wrap around the body.

  • Front, side and back flats for each piece
  • Panel lines and seam placement
  • Gusset drawn and dimensioned
  • Logo or print placement measured from fixed points

02 Construction

Seam by seam, so the line does not default to its fastest build.

  • Flatlock, coverstitch or overlock per seam
  • Waistband build and attachment
  • Underband construction and elastic channel
  • Hem finish and stitch type
  • Stretch allowance per panel

03 Trims

Elastics and trims carry the recovery, so they are specified like fabric.

  • Waistband and underband elastic: construction, width, elastane
  • Bra cups or pads if used: type, removable or sewn
  • Thread suitable for stretch seams
  • Heat-transfer or printed labels, position
  • Care label spec

04 Bill of materials

One line per component, with the stretch data a woven template leaves out.

$299 per style, or $249 per style when you order 3 or more. From a sketch or an idea, development from concept is $499 per style. 3–5 working days per style, with 2–3 revision rounds included.

Two styles, two tech packs. At 3 styles or more, the collection rate of $249 per style applies, with the same construction language across the set.

Yes. Where the fabric or the elastic stretches, such as the waist and the underband, the table carries a relaxed and an extended figure, each with its own tolerance.

Yes. Seam type and stitch are called out seam by seam on front, side and back views, so the factory does not default to its fastest build.

A sample, a reference photo, a sketch or an idea is enough to start. If you only have an idea, the from-concept tier develops the construction first, then we spec it.
