T-Shirt Tech Pack Checklist
A clear tech pack reduces avoidable questions, but it remains a controlled working document that should be updated when samples and approvals change.
Give Each Decision a Written Reference
Start with the intended market, size range, silhouette and reference images. Add a measurement chart with named points of measure, fabric requirements, seam and neckline construction, artwork dimensions and placement, trims, labels, packaging, color standards and testing needs. Mark unresolved items clearly instead of presenting assumptions as approvals.
Project Capabilities
- Front, back and detail sketches
- Size range and points of measure
- Fabric composition, weight and color direction
- Seams, neckline, hem and stitching details
- Artwork size, placement and technique
- Labels, packaging, testing and revision history
Development Process
Issue a dated first version with open questions highlighted.
Review feasibility and record agreed alternatives before sampling.
Measure and comment on each sample against the same document.
Release an approved production version with all changes incorporated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can sampling begin without a complete tech pack?
A reference garment, sketch or annotated images may be enough for an initial review, but measurements, materials and construction still need to be confirmed before an accurate production specification exists.
What measurement information is essential?
Name each point of measure, show how it is taken, provide base-size values and tolerances, and explain grading or supply a graded chart for the required size range.
How should revisions be controlled?
Use dated versions, identify what changed, and keep comments tied to the relevant sample. Production should follow one clearly approved final version.

Use the Tech Pack to Start a Clearer Manufacturing Review
This t-shirt tech pack checklist helps a clothing brand prepare the information a clothing manufacturer needs from a tech pack: measurements and tolerances, fabric direction, construction, decoration, labels, packaging and sample comments. If the pack is not complete, a clear sketch or reference garment can still support an initial review.
