Everything You Need to Know About Tech Pack Templates
Tech Packs Made Easy: What They Are and Why Templates Work
If you're launching a fashion brand, there’s one thing factories will always ask for: a tech pack. And if you're Googling “What is a tech pack?”—you’re not alone.
Here’s your full beginner guide to what tech packs are, why they matter, and how templates make the whole process easier.
👀 What’s a Tech Pack (and Why Do You Need One)?
A tech pack is a document that explains every detail of your design to your manufacturer. It includes:
- Flat sketches of the design
- Fabric and trim details
- Sizing and grading
- Construction notes
- Label and packaging info
Think of it as the blueprint your supplier follows to create your garment.
Without it? You risk delays, expensive mistakes, or a sample that looks nothing like what you imagined.
🧠 Why Templates Save You Time and Sanity
Creating a tech pack from scratch takes hours. And if you're not a trained designer or product developer, it's easy to miss important details. That’s why editable tech pack templates are so useful.
With FashionFanBase templates, you get:
- Pre-built sections for every requirement
- Drop-in fields for sketches, sizing, fabrics & more
- Editable in Canva, Illustrator, Excel, or Procreate
💡 Whether you're designing activewear, streetwear, or kidswear—you can use the same framework and just swap in your own designs.
🎨 Combine with Editable Sketch Templates
If you’re using pre-made fashion sketch bundles, you can drag those directly into your tech pack template. No need to hire a fashion illustrator or spend hours learning vector drawing.
This combo means you can go from idea → production file in just a few hours.
🏭 Send It to Beginner-Friendly Suppliers
The best part? With your tech pack ready, you're finally in a position to reach out to factories. But not all suppliers are open to working with new brands.
Use a vetted supplier list like the one in our Lightning Launch Toolkit to find manufacturers who accept small orders and work well with first-time founders.
✅ Final Thoughts
A good tech pack helps you look legit, even if you’re just starting out. It gives your supplier the confidence that you know what you’re doing—and gives you control over your product.
