Hoodie Tech Pack Template
A hoodie tech pack is the file a factory sews your hoodie from: front and back flat sketches, the body fabric and GSM, rib and drawcord trims, a graded size chart with tolerances, hood and kangaroo pocket details, artwork placement, Pantone colors, labels and the quantity per size.
Use these front and back flat sketches as a starting point for your own. New to tech packs? Start with our free tech pack guide or look up a term in the glossary.
Hoodie styles we make
We sew 3 styles of this garment: pullover, zip-up and sleeveless. Prices are for 100 blank pieces in 380gsm 100% cotton loopback French terry.
Zip-up
Sleeveless
“On file” counts the designs we have already sewn in that style, so there is a pattern to start from. “Quoted” means we price that style by hand.
What goes in a hoodie tech pack
A hoodie tech pack has ten parts, from the cover page to the sign-off page; here is what each part should say for a hoodie.
- Cover page: Brand name, style number, tech pack number and date, so every sample and bulk carton can be traced back to this file.
- Flat sketches: Front and back views showing the hood shape, drawcord exits, kangaroo pocket, cuffs and hem rib.
- Fabric and trims (BOM): Body fabric with composition and GSM (for example 380gsm cotton French terry), rib for cuffs and hem, drawcord and tips, eyelets, and thread color.
- Size chart and tolerances: All points of measure for XS to 3XL, including hood height, hood width, pocket size and drawcord length, each with its tolerance.
- Artwork placement: Position and size in cm of each logo on the chest, back, sleeve or hood, and the method for each.
- Colors: Pantone TCX codes for the body, trims, thread and every artwork color.
- Labels and packaging: Neck label, care label with fiber content and wash instructions, hang tag, and folding and polybag instructions.
- Construction notes: Single or double-layer hood, pocket stitching, cover-stitch seams, and whether the inside is loopback or brushed.
- Quantity and size breakdown: Pieces per color and per size. Custom orders start at 100 pcs per style and per color; stock-based orders from 50 pcs.
- Notes and sign-off: Anything not covered above, a revision history, and a sign-off line where you approve the file before bulk production.

Decoration add-ons (per garment, 100 pcs)
Decoration adds from +$0.70 for a small screen print to +$4.40 for a large digital print, per garment, per position at 100 pcs, on top of the blank price.
| Decoration | Add per garment |
|---|---|
| Screen print, small (chest logo) | +$0.70 |
| Screen print, large (full front or back) | +$2.00 |
| Embroidery, small (chest logo) | +$1.20 |
| Embroidery, large (front or back) | +$3.70 |
| Digital print, large (full-color artwork) | +$4.40 |
Each print or embroidery position is priced separately, so a chest logo plus a back print counts as two add-ons.
Fabric & GSM options
For hoodies you can choose French terry (loopback), brushed fleece, polar fleece, air-layer knit, brushed jersey or interlock, from 300 gsm up to 450+ gsm. The table shows the blank price per piece at 100 pcs for each weight band. Each band starts at the price of its cheapest fabric type, so a heavier band can start lower.
| Fabric weight | Fabric types | 100 pcs, blank (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 300–349 gsm | French terry (loopback), Brushed fleece, Polar fleece, Air-layer knit | $12.10–$19.90 |
| 350–399 gsm | French terry (loopback), Brushed fleece, Polar fleece, Air-layer knit, Brushed jersey | $14.40–$21.90 |
| 400–449 gsm | French terry (loopback), Brushed fleece, Brushed jersey, Interlock | $15.10–$23.60 |
| 450+ gsm | French terry (loopback), Brushed fleece | $17.80–$24.80 |
GSM is grams per square meter: the higher the number, the heavier and warmer the fabric.
