Tech Pack Template
Clothing tech pack templates — and why AI is better
Understand what goes into a clothing tech pack. Then skip the blank template and let AI generate a complete, filled-out tech pack from your garment description.
Anatomy
What a clothing tech pack template contains
Flat Sketch Section
Placeholder for front and back technical drawings. In templates, you draw these separately. With AI, they are generated automatically.
BOM Section
Table for fabric body, lining, interfacing, trims, closures, labels, tags, and thread. Each row has columns for supplier, color, composition, and quantity.
Measurement Section
Graded size chart with points of measure across all sizes. Columns for tolerance and measurement method.
Construction Section
Fields for seam types, stitch specifications, finishing methods, and assembly notes. Often the most time-consuming section to fill manually.
Colorway & Label Section
Pantone references, label content, care symbol selection, hangtag specs, and packaging instructions.

Frequently asked questions
What should a clothing tech pack template include?+
A complete clothing tech pack template should include sections for: cover page (design overview), flat sketches (front and back views), bill of materials (fabrics, trims, closures), graded measurement chart, construction notes (seam types, stitching, finishing), colorway specifications, label placement, and packaging instructions.
Where can I download a tech pack template?+
Free tech pack templates are available as Excel spreadsheets and Google Sheets from various fashion resources. However, templates require manual entry for every field and separate flat sketch creation in Illustrator. AI tools like Skema3D generate filled-out tech packs from garment descriptions — no blank templates needed.
Are tech pack templates good enough for manufacturers?+
Templates provide the correct structure, but the quality depends entirely on what you fill in. Incomplete or inconsistent specs lead to manufacturer questions and sample revisions. AI-generated tech packs are consistently complete and formatted to industry standards — reducing back-and-forth with factories.
Should I use a template or AI to create tech packs?+
AI is faster and more consistent. Templates require manual entry for every field, separate flat sketch creation, and careful formatting. AI generates all sections — including flat sketches and graded measurements — from your garment description. Templates are useful for learning tech pack structure; AI is better for production use.
