From AI Design to Wholesale: Creating Line Sheets from Tech Packs
How to use AI-designed garments and tech pack data to create wholesale line sheets — from design concept to buyer-ready product presentations.
From tech pack to line sheet
A line sheet is a buyer-facing sales document that presents your collection for wholesale. It includes product images, style descriptions, colorway options, size ranges, and wholesale pricing. Much of this information already exists in your tech packs.
AI design tools generate both the visual content (garment renders for product images) and the specification content (style details, colorways, sizes) that line sheets require.
Line sheet essentials
A wholesale line sheet includes:
- Product image: front view of each style (AI-generated renders work for initial presentations)
- Style name and number: from tech pack cover page
- Color options: from tech pack colorway definitions
- Size range: from tech pack graded size chart
- Fabric description: from tech pack BOM
- Wholesale price: from tech pack costing + margin calculation
- Minimum order: per style or per color
- Delivery date: based on production timeline
Using AI renders for line sheets
AI-generated garment renders can serve as line sheet product images before physical samples are photographed. This allows brands to present collections to buyers earlier in the development cycle.
For buyer meetings and trade shows, AI renders supplemented with fabric swatches and trim details provide a compelling product presentation. Final line sheets should be updated with actual product photography once samples are available.
Collection pricing from tech pack costing
Tech pack costing estimates provide the foundation for wholesale pricing. Apply your target margin multiplier to the estimated production cost to set wholesale prices.
Present pricing on line sheets as wholesale unit price with minimum order quantities. Buyers compare pricing across brands, so ensure your costing is competitive for your market segment.
Streamlining the design-to-wholesale pipeline
The traditional pipeline from design to wholesale presentation takes months. AI tools compress this: design concepts in days, tech packs in hours, line sheet content immediately available from tech pack data.
This speed advantage means you can present collections to buyers earlier, receive orders sooner, and plan production with confirmed demand — reducing inventory risk.
