Tech Pack Templates — 13 Production-Ready Garment Specifications in PDF and Illustrator

A tech pack is the single most important document in garment manufacturing. It communicates your exact vision to the factory — flat drawings, points of measure with tolerances, a graded size specification, fabric and trim specifications, construction details, colourways and artwork placement. It is what a factory quotes from, cuts from and inspects against. Without one, a manufacturer guesses, and wrong guesses mean wrong samples, costly revisions and delays.

Commissioning a tech pack from an independent technical designer typically costs between €150 and €900 per style before revision rounds and takes several days. These 13 packs are already drawn, cost €38 for a single garment, and are delivered by email immediately after payment. They were drawn inside White Cotton, a garment factory in Barcelos, Portugal, that manufactures these same garments — the measurements, seam specifications and production notes come from the production floor rather than from a remote studio.

Each of these 13 packs is a separate document written for its own silhouette, not one template with a different drawing. A hoodie pack specifies hood height, drawcord channel, eyelet spacing and kangaroo pocket geometry. A polo pack specifies placket length, button spacing and collar height. Shorts specify rise, inseam and leg opening.

Every pack runs 26 to 27 pages: colourway flats, design details with numbered callouts, inside construction naming every seam, points of measure with tolerances, a graded specification from XS to XXL, bill of materials, labels and care to EU Regulation 1007/2011, packaging, production notes and a folding sequence. Measurements are drawn from published industry garment charts as a production-ready starting block you overwrite to match your own fit sample.

Behind a marked divider, each pack also carries a reference catalogue — stitch and seam options, ribbing, cuffs and hems, necklines, washes and finishes, 31 printing and decoration methods, and trims. That section is for choosing, and the pack tells you to remove it before sending to a factory.

Files are delivered as a vector PDF and an .ai file, editable in Illustrator, Affinity or CorelDRAW. The document is yours and carries no supplier details, so it works with any factory. Pricing runs from €38 for a single garment to €248 for all 13.

Production-ready specification

Tech packs a factory can cut.

Drawn inside a Portuguese factory that cuts these garments every week — not from a template. Each garment is its own document: 26 to 27 pages, measurements graded XS–XXL with tolerances, every seam named. Commissioning one from a technical designer typically runs €150 to €900 and takes days. This one reaches your inbox for €38.

What a tech pack is

The document a factory actually cuts from

A tech pack carries the flat drawings, the points of measure with tolerances, the graded size specification, the inside construction with every seam named, the bill of materials, colourways with Pantone references, artwork placement, labels and packaging. It is what a factory quotes from, cuts from and inspects against. Without one you are paying for someone else's interpretation — and finding out at the sample stage.

There are thirteen of them — one per silhouette, 345 pages and 159 measured rows in total. They are not one template with the drawing swapped: the hoodie pack specifies hood height, drawcord channel and eyelet spacing; the polo pack specifies placket length, button spacing and collar height; the shorts pack specifies rise, inseam and leg opening. None of those rows exist on the others.

Who drew them

White Cotton is a garment factory in Barcelos, Portugal. These are the garments we put through production every week — the measurements, the seams and the production notes come from the floor that cuts them, not from a desk that has never seen one sewn.

A sampling round lost to an ambiguous specification costs more than the whole pack — and puts two more weeks between you and production.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A tech pack is the document a factory manufactures from. It carries the flat drawings, the points of measure with tolerances, the graded size specification, the construction and every seam, the bill of materials, colourways with Pantone references, artwork placement, labels and care, and the packaging. It is the difference between a factory building what you designed and a factory building its best guess. Every collection needs one — the only question is who writes it.
