Send it before sampling, check the physical sample against it line by line, and update it after every change so each reorder matches the last. <strong>Sportswear of Tomorrow<\/strong> makes private-label rashguards in its own facility in Aiud, Romania, in Italian Carvico Vita PL, from 1 piece on existing cuts and 2.5\u20134 weeks from artwork approval.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rashguard looks simple, which is why small details decide whether it sells. A sleeve 2 cm too short, a logo on a seam or a navy that comes out purple will show up in reviews. The tech pack prevents those problems before a sample is made. This guide is for founders and product managers at BJJ, MMA, no-gi, surf and swim brands who want a rashguard that fits, prints and reorders the same way every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a rashguard tech pack?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rashguard tech pack is a set of technical documents that describes one rashguard style precisely enough for a factory to make it without guessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not a mood board. Inspiration images and AI-generated renders show the look you want, but a garment cannot be produced from images alone. A factory needs measurements, a fabric, construction details and print-ready files, collected in one PDF or spreadsheet plus the artwork files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a private-label brand it is also your record of what you approved: when you reorder six months later, it tells everyone what &#8220;right&#8221; looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you need a tech pack if you start on an existing cut?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not a full one: on an existing cut the pattern and grading already exist, so your brief covers artwork, colours, logo placement, sizes and quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An existing cut is the fastest way to a first drop. At Sportswear of Tomorrow you can order <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportswearoftomorrow.com\/products\/custom-rashguards\/\">custom rashguards<\/a> from 1 piece on existing cuts, so small runs are practical for testing designs or a pre-order. Your brief then needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the cut, sleeve length and sizes you want<\/li>\n\n\n<li>your artwork on the manufacturer&#8217;s panel templates<\/li>\n\n\n<li>logo positions and colour references<\/li>\n\n\n<li>quantities per size and your launch date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A full tech pack becomes essential when you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportswearoftomorrow.com\/services\/develop-your-own-sportswear-your-fabrics-your-trims\/\">develop your own style<\/a>, with your own pattern, measurements and size set. Then fit is part of your brand, and the document protects it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should a rashguard tech pack include?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A complete rashguard tech pack covers ten areas, from the cover page to the version log.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Section<\/th><th>What to include<\/th><th>Why it matters on a rashguard<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Cover page<\/td><td>Style name and code, version number, date, contact person<\/td><td>Stops anyone working from an old file<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flat sketches<\/td><td>Front, back and side views; neckline, sleeve and hem details<\/td><td>Shows panel lines where the print meets the seams<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Measurement chart<\/td><td>Garment measurements at fixed points, for the base size<\/td><td>A close fit leaves little room for error<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Grading<\/td><td>Measurements for every size in your size set<\/td><td>Keeps the fit consistent from smallest to largest<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fabric<\/td><td>Composition, weight and certification<\/td><td>Needed for labels, product pages and claims<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Construction<\/td><td>Seam type, neck finish, hem finish, stitching<\/td><td>Decides comfort under load and in water<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Artwork and placement<\/td><td>Print files per panel, logo positions in centimetres<\/td><td>Keeps logos off seams and in the same place on every size<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Colour<\/td><td>Pantone or colour codes for every colour<\/td><td>Gives the sample a measurable target<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Labels and packing<\/td><td>Neck label, care label, hangtag, folding and bagging<\/td><td>Your brand, not the factory&#8217;s, is what customers see<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Version log<\/td><td>What changed, when and why<\/td><td>Makes reorders match the approved version<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep one tech pack per style. A long sleeve and a short sleeve are two styles, even when the artwork is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you write measurements for a stretch garment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Write garment measurements, taken flat and relaxed at clearly defined points, never body measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rashguard fits close, so the garment is usually smaller than the body. Send body measurements and the factory has to guess how much negative ease you want. Give garment measurements, and keep a separate body-size chart for your product pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Points of measure that matter on a rashguard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chest width<\/strong>, measured flat a set distance below the armhole<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Waist width<\/strong> and <strong>hem width<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Body length<\/strong> from the high point of the shoulder to the hem, front and back<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Sleeve length<\/strong> from the shoulder point to the cuff, and the <strong>cuff opening<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Neck width<\/strong> and <strong>front neck drop<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Armhole depth<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Define each point in words and on a diagram, with the tolerance you accept. Then grade: the same points for every size, with the increment between sizes. If a reference rashguard already fits the way you want, send it along with your measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How should you specify fabric and construction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Name the exact fabric, composition, weight and certification, and ask the manufacturer which construction options are available for your style and quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Stretch polyester&#8221; is not a specification. At Sportswear of Tomorrow, every rashguard is made from Italian Carvico Vita PL: 78% recycled polyester and 22% elastane, 190 g\/m\u00b2, GRS-certified, OEKO-TEX-certified and rated UPF 50+ for UV protection. The same fabric is used for fight and swim rashguards; the cut, sleeve length and artwork change per style. Put the exact composition and weight in your tech pack; you will need them again for your care label and product pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For construction, describe the seam type, the neck, hem and cuff finishes, and anything specific such as a longer back hem for grappling. Let the manufacturer confirm which options are available for that style and quantity, and record the answer in the tech pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the EU rules on environmental claims to consumers (Directive (EU) 2024\/825), applying from 27 September 2026, a specific, documented claim such as &#8220;78% recycled polyester, GRS-certified fabric&#8221; is far safer than a generic one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you prepare artwork files for a sublimated rashguard?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Design on the manufacturer&#8217;s panel templates, supply logos as vector files, and mark every logo position with a measurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With sublimation, the design is printed before the panels are cut and sewn, so artwork can run edge to edge. A few rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use the templates.<\/strong> Ask for the panel templates of your cut before your designer starts. Each panel and size has its own template.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Vector logos.<\/strong> Supply logos in AI, EPS, SVG or PDF, and full-colour artwork at print resolution.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Placement in centimetres.<\/strong> For example, &#8220;chest logo centred, 8 cm below the neck seam&#8221;. Say whether a logo scales with the size or stays the same size on every garment.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep clear of seams.<\/strong> Keep logos and fine text away from seam lines, where panels meet and the design can shift slightly.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>One file per colourway.<\/strong> Name every file by style, colourway and version so nobody prints last season&#8217;s artwork.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you specify colour so the sample matches?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give a Pantone or colour code for every colour in the design, and approve colour on the physical sample, not on a screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pantone references give the factory a target it can measure against. Slight colour differences can occur because sublimation ink absorbs into the fabric, and screens show colour differently from fabric, so the approved physical sample is the reference for bulk and for every reorder. Check the sample in daylight next to your Pantone references. One honest limit of sublimation: a sublimated black is never quite as deep as a pre-dyed black fabric, so plan dark designs with that in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you use the tech pack at sample approval?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the physical sample against every line of the tech pack, write your comments into the pack, and issue a new version before bulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Measure the sample at each point and compare it with your chart; check logos, colours, labels and finishing. Then test it as your customers will: roll, swim or surf in it, wash it several times, and have athletes in different sizes wear it, not only the founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Record each comment with a photo. &#8220;Sleeve length +1.5 cm on all sizes&#8221; is easy to act on; &#8220;sleeves feel short&#8221; is not. At Sportswear of Tomorrow, 50% of a paid sample&#8217;s cost is credited against your bulk order of at least \u20ac2,000 ex VAT (shipping excluded).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a tech pack keep reorders consistent?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The approved, versioned tech pack, together with the manufacturer&#8217;s stored pattern and colour profile, is what makes a reorder match the first drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treat the approved version as locked. If you change one thing, such as a new colourway or a longer sleeve, create a new version and note it in the log. At Sportswear of Tomorrow, we keep stored colour profiles and patterns so reorders match, and every rashguard is printed, cut and sewn in our own facility in Aiud, Romania, with no partner factories. Production takes 2.5\u20134 weeks from artwork approval on every order, bulk included, plus shipping; development and sampling for a new style come first and are planned in your quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before development starts, agree in writing who owns the pattern and the tech pack, and ask for an NDA if you want one in place before you share designs. Volume discounts apply to larger orders, and on existing cuts you can restock in small runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Sportswear of Tomorrow works with rashguard tech packs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sportswear of Tomorrow at a glance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Custom sublimated sportswear manufacturer, founded in 2002<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Every rashguard printed, cut and sewn in our own facility in Aiud, Romania; no partner factories<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Italian Carvico Vita PL: 78% recycled polyester \/ 22% elastane, 190 g\/m\u00b2, GRS-certified, OEKO-TEX-certified, UPF 50+<\/li>\n\n\n<li>From 1 piece on existing cuts<\/li>\n\n\n<li>2.5\u20134 weeks from artwork approval, bulk included<\/li>\n\n\n<li>1,000+ brands and teams since 2002<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportswearoftomorrow.com\/services\/private-label-oem-sportswear\/\">private-label<\/a> rashguards for fight, surf and swim brands, on our existing cuts or on a style developed from your tech pack.

On an existing cut the pattern and grading already exist, so you send artwork on the manufacturer&#8217;s templates, logo positions, colour references, sizes and quantities. At Sportswear of Tomorrow, existing cuts start from 1 piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should a rashguard tech pack use body or garment measurements?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garment measurements, taken flat and relaxed at defined points such as chest width, body length, sleeve length and cuff opening, with tolerances and a full grading chart. Keep a separate body-size chart for your product pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What fabric does Sportswear of Tomorrow use for rashguards?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italian Carvico Vita PL: 78% recycled polyester and 22% elastane, 190 g\/m\u00b2, GRS-certified, OEKO-TEX-certified and rated UPF 50+. The same fabric is used for fight and swim rashguards; the cut changes per style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will my rashguard match my Pantone colours?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We work from your Pantone references, but slight colour differences can occur because sublimation ink absorbs into the fabric, and screens show colour differently from fabric. Approve colour on a physical sample in daylight; that sample is the reference for bulk and reorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can AI-generated designs replace a tech pack?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. AI-generated images are useful for inspiration and mood boards, but a garment cannot be produced from images alone. Production needs a real tech pack or a reference sample with measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does rashguard production take once the sample is approved?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Sportswear of Tomorrow, 2.5 to 4 weeks from artwork approval on every order, bulk included, plus shipping. Development and sampling for a new style come first and are planned in the quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@graph\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/sportswearoftomorrow.com\/blog\/2026\/10\/21\/rashguard-tech-pack\/#article\",\n      \"mainEntityOfPage\": \"https:\/\/sportswearoftomorrow.com\/blog\/2026\/10\/21\/rashguard-tech-pack\/\",\n      \"headline\": \"Rashguard Tech Pack: What to Send Your Manufacturer Before Sampling\",\n      \"alternativeHeadline\": \"Rashguard Tech Pack: What to Send Your Manufacturer\",\n      \"description\": \"What a rashguard tech pack should include: flat sketches, measurements and grading, fabric, artwork files, Pantone colour, labels and a version log.\",\n      \"datePublished\": \"2026-10-21T16:00:00+02:00\",\n      \"dateModified\": \"2026-10-21T16:00:00+02:00\",\n      \"inLanguage\": \"en-GB\",\n      \"keywords\": [\n        \"rashguard tech pack\",\n        \"how to make a tech pack for a rashguard\",\n        \"rashguard spec sheet\",\n        \"rashguard measurement chart\",\n        \"rashguard sample approval\",\n        \"private label rashguard manufacturer\"\n      ],\n      \"author\": {\n        \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.sportswearoftomorrow.com\/#organization\"\n      },\n      \"publisher\": {\n        \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.sportswearoftomorrow.com\/#organization\"\n      },\n      \"about\": {\n        \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.sportswearoftomorrow.com\/#organization\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.sportswearoftomorrow.com\/#organization\",\n      \"name\": \"Sportswear of Tomorrow\",\n      \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.sportswearoftomorrow.com\/\",\n      \"foundingDate\": \"2002\",\n      \"address\": {\n        \"@type\": \"PostalAddress\",\n        \"addressLocality\": \"Aiud\",\n        \"addressCountry\": \"RO\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/sportswearoftomorrow.com\/blog\/2026\/10\/21\/rashguard-tech-pack\/#faq\",\n      \"mainEntity\": [\n        {\n          \"@type\": \"Question\",\n          \"name\": \"What is a rashguard tech pack?\",\n          \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n            \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n            \"text\": \"A set of technical documents that describes one rashguard style precisely enough for a factory to make it without guessing: flat sketches, a measurement and grading chart, fabric, construction notes, artwork and placement files, colour references, labels and packing details, and a version log.\"\n          }\n        },\n        {\n          \"@type\": \"Question\",\n          \"name\": \"Do I need a tech pack to order rashguards on an existing cut?\",\n          \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n            \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n            \"text\": \"Not a full one.
