Understanding Techpacks in Konfiwear
A techpack is a production-ready PDF document generated automatically when a customer submits a quote. It contains everything your production team needs to manufacture the garment
What's in a Techpack?
Page | Section | Content |
1 | Overview | Product thumbnail, customer contact details, pricing summary, quote number |
2 | Product Views | Front and back 3D screenshots of the customized garment, side by side |
3 | Print File | 2D canvas flat for production reference (when available) |
4 | Colors | Color specification table with visual swatches, hex values, Pantone codes, and CMYK breakdown |
5 | Graphics | Uploaded graphic thumbnails with placement metadata (position, scale, rotation) |
6 | Text Elements | Text specification table — content, font, size, color, and placement position |
7 | Sizing & Roster | Size breakdown chips showing per-size quantities, plus the full player roster table (number, name, size) |
Pages 3–6 are conditionally included — if the quote has no graphics, the Graphics page is omitted. The PDF adapts to the actual content of each quote.
How Techpacks Are Generated
Customer submits a quote through the customizer
The application captures front and back 3D screenshots
A background job sends the quote data to the doc service (a standalone Playwright-based microservice)
The doc service fetches all quote data, renders an HTML template, and converts it to a landscape A4 PDF
The PDF is uploaded to cloud storage
The techpack URL is saved to the quote record
This entire process is non-blocking — the customer's quote submission completes immediately, and the techpack generates in the background.
Accessing Techpacks
On the quote detail page, the Preview & Files card in the right sidebar shows the techpack download link once generation is complete. The status progresses from pending to ready.
💡 Tip: Techpacks are generated automatically — no manual action required. If the techpack status stays at pending for more than a few minutes, check the doc service health on your server.
Color Resolution
The techpack resolves colors using your account's color library. For each zone color, it looks up the matching hex in your colors table to include the Pantone and CMYK values alongside the visual swatch. This gives your print team production-accurate color references.
