5 Tech Pack Mistakes That Cost You 3+ Sample Rounds

⚠

Missing Pantone codes

Factory guesses color → 3 rounds of samples wasted

✓ Fix: Always provide Pantone TCX (textile) code + physical swatch
⚠

No last code specified

Factory uses their default last → wrong shape

✓ Fix: Provide last model # or send reference shoe
⚠

BOM without supplier codes

Factory substitutes cheaper materials

✓ Fix: Specify supplier + product code for every BOM line
⚠

Grading not specified

Size 36 fits, size 41 falls apart

✓ Fix: Always provide grading rules with base size measurements
⚠

No packaging spec

Shoes arrive in wrong boxes → retail rejection

✓ Fix: Include full packaging section — box, tissue, carton
