Sweatpants Tech Pack (Joggers)
A sweatpants tech pack tells the factory how to make your joggers: front and back flat sketches, the fabric and GSM, waistband, drawcord and cuff details, pockets, a graded size chart with tolerances, 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.
Pants and shorts styles we make
We sew 4 styles of this garment: joggers, wide leg, cargo and shorts. Prices are for 100 blank pieces in 380gsm 100% cotton loopback French terry.
Wide leg
Cargo
Shorts
“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 sweatpants tech pack
A sweatpants tech pack has ten parts, from the cover page to the sign-off page; here is what each part should say for a pair of sweatpants.
- 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 waistband, drawcord, side and back pockets, leg shape and cuffed or open hem.
- Fabric and trims (BOM): Body fabric with composition and GSM (for example 380gsm cotton French terry), waistband elastic, rib for the cuffs, drawcord and tips, and thread color.
- Size chart and tolerances: All points of measure for XS to 3XL, including waist relaxed and extended, hip, front and back rise, thigh, inseam and leg opening, each with its tolerance.
- Artwork placement: Position and size in cm of each logo on the front thigh, back pocket or down the leg.
- 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: Waistband construction, pocket type, back pocket, cuffed or open hem, and any garment wash.
- 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 sweatpants you can choose French terry (loopback), brushed fleece, polar fleece, air-layer knit, brushed jersey or interlock, from 350 gsm up to 449 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) |
|---|---|---|
| 350–399 gsm | French terry (loopback), Brushed fleece, Polar fleece, Air-layer knit, Brushed jersey | $12.90–$19.70 |
| 400–449 gsm | French terry (loopback), Brushed fleece, Brushed jersey, Interlock | $13.40–$21.10 |
GSM is grams per square meter: the higher the number, the heavier and warmer the fabric.
