Understanding Product Size Charts

Also called spec sheet or PoM chart (PoM = Point of Measure), the size chart is a synthesis of the essential measurements of your garment. It’s a key support for the pattern maker in generating patterns for the garment. This chart undergoes regular updates during the process to identify any inconsistencies and necessary modifications following the initial sample.

It's an essential part of the tech pack for every garment.

On Rechain PLM, the size spec of your product is available in the “Measurements” tab of your product.

Create a size chart on Rechain PLM: choose the most efficient option for each situation.

Let’s explore the different options of the creation of a size chart

Create your size chart manually (article here)
Create it from an Excel file (article here)
Create it using existing points of measure from your library (article here)
Generate it using a template
Generate it using an existing product (article here)

This article focuses on the forth option. Feel free to explore articles that present the other options.

To create a measurement template, you need to create points of measure in your library first. To learn more about how to create a point of measure in your library, you can read this article.

Create a new measurement template

First, let's explore how to create a template in your library. To access your point of measure library, click on the 'Measurements template' tab (1).

Then, click on the '+ New template' button (2).



Now, you can see this side panel where you can:

Name your template
Select a measurement unit (centimeters or inches)
Add sizes to this template by clicking on the “+ Add size” button
Select the base size
Then, click on the "+ New template" button to save your template.



Tip: You can also create a template using the size chart of an existing product by clicking on the 'Fill based on product' option at the top of this panel.

Now, you can fill your template by:
Adding points of measure from your library
Manually adding new points of measure
Uploading an Excel file with the measurements
You can use the “Edit” button (4) to edit the name, sizes and base size of your template.



After adding the relevant points of measure for this template, you just need to fill in the dimensions for each point of measure. This table is just like a spreadsheet: click in the cell of your choice and enter the dimensions.

Now you know everything about the creation of a template!
