Technical Sourcebook for Designers: Studio Access Card Printed Access Code – July 2, 2015

TECH PACKFinally! If you are looking for a book that teaches you how to actually create a tech pack buy this one. I've purchased what seems to be a library of books that tell you everything about fashion except how to build the designs that really matter. Technical Designs (TECH PACK) or (SPECS) are necessary for every garment produced from underwear to outerwear. Whether you design for Walmart or Macy's. Save your money on Fashion Design School and simply buy this book. Most fashion production is outsourced to foreign countries. The fashion is designed here in the US but the garments are made in developing countries where people often speak a different language. The TECH PACK is necessary to communicate the details of each garment. This book superbly explains the entire process and begins teaching how to do a TECH PACK in chapter 3. This wonderful resource even teaches how to specify folding the garment, hang tagging, and bagging the garment. It's a must have.

Bought the book brand new, it is a large, hefty, informational book, with text that is easy to read.It does come with an access card and you have access to the materials online for year. I was able to download every single chapter and print out worksheets that I wanted to use for my tech pack. This is super valuable in developing a tech pack, I learned so much about because this vacation and was able to develop my own style for my tech packs in my fashion business based off of the information provided in this book. This is not my only book on tech packs, but it is definitely super valuable and I think that’s it is a great beginning to tech packs. They explain every single seat in the tech pack it also provides wash care symbols and instructions and measuring specifications. This is a must-have for all fashion designers.

My fault; title of this item says: "Access Card"... I give this one star because this item is literally a card with an access code on it. (Again, my fault for not being a discerning consumer)... This is not a tangible book, but rather an access code that you can use to access these materials. This item took a week longer to arrive than any of my other (tangible) books.

Very straightforward and full of information book. Techpacks are complicated documents and this book really helps with creating them

Don't waste your time and money on bundle book and studio access card!Buy the book! website very confusing and not helpful....you will be wasting your time.

The material in the book is fine. The book itself literally falls apart from the binding. By my 3rd week the book was in 4 different pieces and everytime i turn a page it just rips out. Very stressful trying to work with a book that falls apart as you turn the page

This book is extremely detailed and has helped me so much with tech packs in multiple classes in school.

I enjoyed the content of the book. The only thing that I was disappointed about was the condition of the book when I received it. The binding was coming undone and it was very hard to read the book without pages falling out.
