Product Details
The information you provide about a product influences how it is displayed to suppliers, helps you organize your products more effectively, and assists suppliers in understanding the product better.
Name - The name for your product that you want to display to your suppliers.
Description - The description for your product. Describe your products in detail to inform potential suppliers. The more you describe, the easier supplier can understand your requests.
Production Status - You don't need to manually fill in this field. It's used to manage the status of products. By default, products are in a "draft" state, indicating they haven't been officially launched yet. Once a product is archived, its status changes to "archived," but you can reactivate it later if needed.

Media - The images, 3D models, and video that provide a visual demonstration of your product.
Category - Enter a category for your product that you've created, such as T-shirts, shirts, watches, etc., and we will match you with vendors who major in that category.
Type - Editable product category. If you don't find a suitable option under "category," try using "type" instead.
Tags - Add whatever you want in tags, and you can manage your products more quickly by searching or filtering.

Tech Pack
A tech pack, or technical package, is a detailed document that outlines all specifications and requirements for manufacturing a product, ensuring clear communication between designers, product developers, and manufacturers. It includes components such as technical sketches, a bill of materials (BOM), measurement specs, construction details, colorways, artwork, and packaging instructions. To write a good tech pack description, be detailed and clear, use visual aids, standardize terms, organize information logically, specify materials and components, provide accurate measurements, detail construction techniques, include quality standards, update regularly, and review thoroughly.
