The basics
No. $20 once, access forever. No renewals, no monthly fees, no upsells. You also get all future modules and updates at no extra cost.
4 step-by-step modules, 12+ downloadable templates (tech packs, flat mockups, measurement guides, spec sheets), and access to all future updates. Everything is inside the member dashboard the moment you sign up.
YouTube gives you fragments in random order. First Sample gives you the full process in the right sequence, plus the actual files you need. No hunting across 50 videos to piece it together yourself.
Not at all. Everything is written for people starting from zero. The tech pack templates are fill-in-the-blank — you don't need to know Illustrator, Photoshop, or any design software.
The templates
PDF and Adobe Illustrator (.ai). The PDFs can be filled in directly. If you want to customise the layout further, the .ai files are fully editable.
Hoodies, t-shirts, and pants. Each garment has a tech pack template, flat mockups, a measurement guide, and a factory spec sheet. More garment types are being added.
Yes — that's the point. The tech packs are built to be factory-ready. Fill in your specs, add your measurements, and send it directly.
Production & manufacturers
Module 3 covers exactly how to find, vet, and communicate with factories. It includes outreach scripts, sample request templates, and guidance on MOQs and contracts.
Then you're ahead of most people. The tech pack templates will still save you hours, and Module 3 covers sampling, contracts, and how to protect yourself through production.
Yes — Module 1 (Brand Foundations) helps you define your product direction before you ever touch a tech pack. You don't need to have it figured out before you start.
Account & access
If you have any issues with your purchase, reach out at hello@firstsample.co and we'll sort it out.
Yes. The platform is fully responsive and works on any device. Templates are best downloaded and edited on a desktop, but all lessons and modules are readable on mobile.
