If you’re starting a fashion brand, you’ve probably heard the term tech pack come up a few times, usually right after you start talking to a pattern maker, sample maker, or manufacturer.

And if you’ve ever felt a little fuzzy on what a tech pack actually is (and why everyone keeps asking for one), you’re not alone.

Let’s break it down.

AI tools are quickly becoming a staple in creative industries, and fashion is no exception. You can now generate sketches, patterns, and even full tech packs with just a few prompts. It sounds like a dream for small brands and startups… until it’s time to go into production.

At Lilith Apparel, we’ve noticed a growing trend: designers bringing us “AI-made” tech packs or artwork that look sleek but fall apart when it’s time to actually make the garment. The truth is, AI can be a great brainstorming tool, but it can’t replace the precision, knowledge, and problem-solving skills of a professional technical designer.

If you’ve ever dreamed about starting your own clothing line, you probably already know how overwhelming it can feel. Where do you even begin? How do you get from an idea in your head to a sample in your hands, and eventually, a full collection ready to sell?

At Lilith Apparel, we help aspiring designers and small brands cut through the confusion. We act as a one-stop shop for fashion development services, guiding you through design, sourcing, sampling, and manufacturing. You don’t need any technical knowledge or industry connections—we’ll walk you through every step.

If you’re new to building a clothing line, you’ve probably heard the term tech designer thrown around and wondered, what exactly do they do?

It’s one of those behind-the-scenes roles that doesn’t always get the spotlight, but honestly, it’s one of the most important parts of getting a collection made. A tech designer is the person who takes your creative ideas and makes sure they can actually be produced, accurately, consistently, and without endless rounds of guesswork.

Fashion has always been about innovation, from new fabrics to new ways of producing clothing. But in recent years, one tool has been quietly transforming how brands develop products: 3D design.

If you’re a new or growing fashion brand, understanding how 3D fits into the development process can save you time, money, and frustration. Here’s why it’s becoming a game-changer.
