Yes! Send us your design specs in PDF format and we'll review production feasibility. Even if you design your own socks, our design team is happy to assist throughout the process.
Jacquard knitted socks support up to 5–6 solid yarn colors per design. While sublimation printing offers unlimited colors, we recommend Jacquard knitting for superior quality, feel, and durability. Our digital print socks offer unlimited colors with a softer cotton base.
Gradient colors aren't available with Jacquard knitting (which uses solid-color yarns). However, our designers can convert gradients into 2–4 solid color blocks that look fantastic. If you absolutely need true gradients, ask about our digital printed socks option.
Very close! We have 500+ physical yarn colors and we match them as precisely as possible. Because socks are knitted from pre-dyed yarns (not printed), colors may appear slightly different than on screen. We use multiple quality checks and can provide sample photos before production upon request.
Yes — mismatched left/right socks are possible. However, the MOQ doubles since each side is a separate design. For example: 10 pairs minimum (5 left + 5 right).

🧵 Materials & Quality

Our standard crew socks: 80% premium combed cotton + 17% Polyamide + 3% Lycra. We also offer bamboo, merino wool, and COOLMAX athletic blends. All materials are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.

Recommendation✓ Best for business✗ Not recommended
Yes! Our materials are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified — tested for harmful substances and safe for human wear. Eco-friendly options (organic cotton, bamboo) are also available.
No! Because we use Jacquard knitting with pre-dyed yarns, the colors are woven into the fabric — not printed on top. Your logo remains vibrant wash after wash. Sublimation-printed socks, by contrast, can fade after 5–10 washes.
Custom socks outperform traditional promotional items: (1) Higher usage — socks are worn 12+ hours daily; (2) Better retention — T-shirts get buried, mugs sit unused, but socks get worn repeatedly; (3) Lower cost per impression — at under $5/pair for premium branded socks, the ROI is unmatched; (4) More memorable — unique gift that stands out from the sea of pens and T-shirts.

We use Jacquard knitting machines with needle counts ranging from 144 to 200 needles — the specific gauge is selected based on the desired sock thickness and design complexity. Our senior engineers determine the optimal needle count for each order, so you don't need to worry about the technical details. Yarns are pre-dyed and woven directly into the fabric stitch by stitch. Unlike cheap sublimation socks printed on polyester, our method produces socks that are soft, breathable, and color-fast. Learn more about our process.
