A tech pack template works best when it gives the 3D apparel team enough construction, fabric and visual detail to quote and build accurately.
A clear brief saves time, reduces revisions and helps your 3D apparel partner quote accurately. Use this copy-ready template before requesting CLO3D apparel design, ecommerce renders, apparel mockups, fabric digitalization or AR-ready 3D model assets.

How to use this template
Copy the template sections into a document, fill in the details you already know and attach reference files. If you do not have every detail yet, still send the available information. A good 3D apparel partner can help identify what is missing before production begins.
When your brief is ready, send it through the BinaryCloth request a quote form. You can also review our CLO3D apparel design service, Amazon and Shopify virtual product photography service, and 3D apparel model asset service.
Quick brief scoring checklist
Before sending your project, check whether the brief answers these questions:
- What product is being developed?
- What files already exist?
- What views or renders are required?
- How many colorways are needed?
- Where will the images or model assets be used?
- What details must be visually accurate?
- Who will approve the first preview?
FAQ: using the template
Do I need a complete tech pack before requesting 3D work?
No. A complete tech pack is helpful, but many projects can start with sketches, measurements, sample photos, fabric references and clear output goals. Missing information should be identified early.
Can this template be used for ecommerce renders?
Yes. The render brief sections help define views, background, resolution, colorways and usage so the final output is planned for Amazon, Shopify, catalogs, buyer decks or internal review.
What to include before sending a 3D apparel brief
A useful brief should remove guesswork before the first digital garment is built. Include front, back and detail references, target size, fabric type, trims, print placement, colorways and any fit notes from previous samples. If the project will be used for ecommerce, add the required camera views, crop ratio, background preference and delivery format.
For a production handoff, the template should separate creative notes from technical instructions. Pattern files, measurement tables, fabric references and hardware notes help the 3D team build a more reliable virtual sample. Brand teams can also add review checkpoints so feedback stays focused on fit, material behavior, styling and render quality.

Source notes for technical handoff
When the brief includes 3D garment work, connect the document to the tools and formats your team already uses. CLO is a common platform for 3D apparel creation, and the official CLO3D site is a useful reference for teams learning how digital garment workflows fit into design and development.
Keep the final brief short enough for a vendor to scan, but complete enough that pricing, timing and deliverables can be confirmed without repeated clarification.
