Common questions

Frequently asked

What's special about activewear tech packs?

Activewear requires compression stretch specs, gusset construction details, flat-lock seam callouts, and 4-way stretch fabric weight notes. Standard tech packs miss these — we don't.

Can you spec sublimation print activewear?

Yes. We handle sublimation pattern layout, color profile specs, and shrinkage allowances in the tech pack.

Do you spec sports bras with cup integration?

Yes. Cup spec, underwire callouts, removable pad pockets, and band construction details are included.

How long does an activewear tech pack take?

7-10 days standard. Complex multi-piece capsules (legging + bra + tee) may extend to 14 days.

FAQ

Activewear questions

What's a gusset and do I need one?+

A gusset is a diamond or triangle of fabric in the crotch of leggings/shorts. Yes — without one, the seam fails during squats and gym wear. We spec it as standard from Pro tier.

Can you spec sublimation prints?+

Yes. We include print file format (.AI, .PSD), color profile, placement markers, and registration tolerance.

Do you handle compression weight callouts?+

Yes. We spec compression by gsm (220–280 typical for activewear) and stretch % per zone.

Flat-lock vs cover-stitch — what's the difference?+

Flat-lock joins two pieces flat-edge-to-flat-edge (good for compression). Cover-stitch is a flat hem finish. Both are spec'd in stitch diagrams.

Can you spec moisture-wicking fabrics?+

Yes — by fiber blend (e.g., 88% poly / 12% spandex), GSM, and finish (e.g., wicking treatment).

What about reflective trim?+

Yes. We spec placement, width, color of reflective tape (e.g., 3M Scotchlite) — typical for running gear.

Do you spec sports bra padding pockets?+

Yes. We spec pocket size, opening type (zipped/slit), pad dimensions.

Can you do colorblocking specs?+

Yes — colorblock callouts, panel diagrams, color codes per panel.
