T-Shirt Tech Pack Template
A t-shirt tech pack has the fewest rows of any garment and the least room to hide. This one specifies collar rib height and neck width as critical, then shoulder, armhole drop, sleeve opening and body length — each measured to a stated convention and graded XS to XXL with tolerances.
Collar rib height, neck width and sleeve opening — where cheap tees give themselves away.

Commissioning a t-shirt spec from a technical designer typically runs €150 to €900 and takes days. This one was drawn inside a Portuguese factory that cuts the garment every week, and it is in your inbox in minutes.

Why this one is different
T-Shirt, specified
A tee has the fewest rows of any garment in the set and the least room to hide. There is no zip, no pocket and no hood to distract from a neckline that is 1 cm too wide or a rib that is too shallow to hold its shape after a wash. That is where cheap tees give themselves away, and both rows are flagged critical here.
The rest of the document does the work a tee still needs: shoulder width, armhole drop, sleeve opening and body length, all measured to a stated convention and graded across six sizes with tolerances.
The smallest row count in the set — every one of which is a place a tee goes wrong.

Points of measure
Every row in the pack
All 9 of them, with the convention each is measured to. 5 are marked as measurements a factory cannot cut without — they print in bold on the page. The values themselves are inside the document, graded XS–XXL with tolerances; we do not publish them here.

- BBody length (HPS to hem)criticalMeasure from the highest point of shoulder straight down to the bottom edge.
- CShoulder widthcriticalShoulder point to shoulder point across the back

Measurements in this pack are drafted from published industry sizing (EN 13402-3 body girths; Craft Yarn Council body lengths) with standard ease for the stated fit class. They are a production-ready standard block, not White Cotton house measurements. Confirm the graded spec against your own fit sample before bulk production.

Who it's for
Built for these brands
- First-time brands whose opening product is a tee and who need a document a factory will quote against
- Anyone comparing quotes from several factories and wanting them priced off the same spec
- Brands moving a tee from a blank supplier to cut-and-sew production
Not for
- Long-sleeve tees, which add the cuff group (see the Long Sleeve T-Shirt pack)
- Anyone expecting the artwork itself — the pack specifies placement and sizing, not your graphics

FAQ
Before you buy
Does it cover print placement?+
It carries an artwork placement page: position, dimensions and the reference points they are measured from. You drop your own artwork in — the file is vector and fully editable.
Is this heavyweight or lightweight?+
The fabric line names a starting weight and you overwrite it. Weight changes the ease and the rib you want, and those are rows to edit, which is the point of buying an editable document rather than a PDF you cannot touch.
What do I actually receive?+
A vector PDF and an .ai file, by email, immediately after payment. Both open and edit in Illustrator, Affinity or CorelDRAW — nothing is flattened or locked.
Can I use it with any factory?+
Yes. The document is yours and carries no supplier details — no address, no contact, nothing that ties it to us. It is drawn to industry convention so any factory can read it.
Are the measurements already filled in?+
Yes, as a production-ready standard block graded XS–XXL with tolerances, drawn from published industry sizing. It is a starting point you overwrite to match your own fit sample — the pack says so on the page. Your own fields (brand, style code, season, colourway names, artwork) arrive marked [FILL IN] in red so nothing ships carrying someone else's data.

Every garment in the set
Each one is a different document, not the same file with a different drawing — the rows above exist on this garment and nowhere else. Buying the complete set saves €246 against buying them one at a time.
