Custom socks can be a lot of fun! They allow you to express your personality and style through your footwear, and can be a great conversation starter. Custom socks also make for unique gifts that are sure to be appreciated.
There are many ways you can have fun with custom socks. You can create socks with bold patterns and colors, or socks with funny or quirky designs.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create your own custom socks with us:
1. Prepare your design
Ai or PNG works best for us to make sure we have a high-quality version of your artwork when creating your mockup. We also accept PDF, PNG, and JPEG files.
What if I can’t design my own artwork?
We’re here to help! Here’s how: Get a pen and paper and sketch your idea for us. It doesn’t have to be perfectly drawn, the purpose of the sketch is for us to get a good understanding of how you want your design to turn out instead of blindly guessing what you want, and would save us time going back and forth with revisions.
Simply let your account manager know that you need support in this matter.
2. Choose your material
Select the materials you want your socks to be made from. There are many options to choose from, including cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers. Consider the intended use of the socks and the comfort level you want when making your selection.
Cotton is a soft, natural fiber that is popular for socks because it is breathable and absorbs moisture. It is a good choice for everyday wear.
Wool is a natural fiber that is known for its warmth and moisture-wicking properties. It is a good choice for socks that will be worn in cold or wet conditions
Blends: Many socks are made from blends of different fibers in order to combine the benefits of each. For example, a sock made from a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers might be breathable and moisture-wicking, but also durable and easy to care for.
3. Choose your printing method
Screen printing
This method involves creating a screen for each color in the design and using a squeegee to push ink through the screen onto the sock material. Screen printing is a relatively inexpensive option, but it can be limited to printing with a small number of colors and the ink may fade or crack over time.
Digital printing
This method involves printing the design directly onto the sock material using a specialized printer. Digital printing allows for full-color printing and fine detail, but the ink may not be as durable as with other methods.
Heat Transfer
This method involves printing the design onto a special transfer paper and applying heat to transfer the ink onto the sock material. Heat transfer printing is a relatively inexpensive option, but the ink may not be as durable as with other methods and the transfer paper may leave a visible residue on the socks.
Embroidered
Embroidery on custom socks is a method of decorating the socks by adding a design or lettering using thread. The design is created by stitching the thread onto the sock material using a specialized embroidery machine.
Embroidery can be a great option for custom socks because it is a durable and high-quality way to add a design to the socks. The embroidery thread is very resistant to fading and wear, so the design is likely to remain vibrant and legible for a long time.
Embroidery is also a flexible option because it can be used to create a wide range of designs, including simple text and logos as well as more complex and detailed images. It is also possible to use multiple colors in an embroidered design, making it a great choice for more complex or colorful designs.
4. Decide on the quantity
To uphold sustainability regulations and minimize waste, each of our products has variable minimum order quantities. For socks, our MOQ is 100 pairs. However, we accept orders of 50 from those who are starting and want to test the waters.
You may choose your quantity on your order form or tell your account manager about your decision.
