How to Prepare a Footwear Tech Pack for Your Factory

What to include in a footwear tech pack — sketches, materials, colours, logo placement, sizes and packaging — so samples come back right the first time.

How to Prepare a Footwear Tech Pack for Your Factory

A tech pack is the instruction file for your shoe. The clearer it is, the fewer sample rounds you need — and every sample round costs time.

What to include

  1. Reference — a model number from our catalog, a photo or a sketch with side and top views.
  2. Materials — upper, lining, insole, midsole and outsole.
  3. Colours — Pantone references or a physical colour sample for each part.
  4. Logo — vector file, size, position and method (embroidery, silicone drip, heat transfer, etc.).
  5. Size range and ratio — which sizes and how many per carton.
  6. Packaging — polybag or box, labels, barcodes and carton marks.
  7. Target price and quantity — this helps us suggest the right materials.

Don't have a full tech pack?

That's fine. Many of our customers start from one of our existing wide toe box models and simply tell us what to change. We turn that into a sample — usually in about 15 days.

Send us your idea or see our OEM / ODM process.
