Free Tech Pack Templates for Clothing Brands — Download PDF & Illustrator Files

A tech pack is the single most important document in garment manufacturing. It communicates your exact vision to the factory — flat sketches, measurements, fabric specifications, construction details, colourways, and trim placement. Without a detailed tech pack, manufacturers guess — and wrong guesses mean wrong samples, costly revisions, and delays.

White Cotton provides free, production-tested tech pack templates for 8 garment types: pullover hoodies, zip hoodies, crewneck sweatshirts, t-shirts, polo shirts, sweatpants, shorts, and more. Each template includes front and back flat drawings, a standard measurement table, fabric and trim specification fields, and construction notes. Available in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) and PDF formats.

These templates are used by real brands manufacturing with our factory in Barcelos, Portugal. They follow industry-standard formatting that any manufacturer worldwide will understand. Whether you are a first-time founder or an established brand, these templates save you weeks of development time.

Need a custom tech pack built from scratch? Our professional tech pack development service starts at €100 per garment — including flat drawings, size grading, fabric recommendations, and construction notes. Delivered in 7–10 business days.

Why this matters

Without a tech pack, we're interpreting your idea. AI images, vague sketches, and text descriptions lead to wrong samples, costly revisions, and weeks of delay. A good tech pack eliminates all of this — the sample comes out right the first time.

Anatomy of a Tech Pack

What it should include

Technical Flat Drawings

Front, back, and detail views of your garment — vectorized, scalable, production-ready.

Measurements & Grading

Every point of measure across all sizes. The pattern maker builds from this.

Pantone Colors

Exact Pantone TCX references for fabrics, threads, ribs, and trims. No guesswork.

Fabric & Trim Specs

Fabric weight, composition, finish. Plus all trims: zippers, buttons, drawcords, labels.

Construction Details

Stitch types, seam allowances, hem widths. This is what separates amateur from professional.

Artwork Placement

Exact position, size, and technique for every logo, print, or embroidery on the garment.

Labels & Packaging

Care labels, woven labels, hangtags, polybag specs, and folding instructions.

Bill of Materials

Complete inventory of every component needed to manufacture the garment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A tech pack is essential to manufacture your exact vision. Without one, we're interpreting your idea — which leads to revisions, delays, and higher costs. If you don't have one, we can build it for you or you can use our free templates to get started.
