Questions about Custom Socks?

FAQ

Everything you need to know about styles, decoration, and delivery.

What is the best way to place a logo on a sock?

Most clients prefer small embroidery or screen printing on the upper side of the sock just below the cuff. This ensures the logo is visible when worn with most shoes.

Can you print around the entire sock?

While we can accommodate large graphics, we typically recommend specific branding zones to ensure the logo remains undistorted when the sock stretches over the foot.

Are custom socks machine-washable?

Yes. Most of our cotton and cotton-blend socks are machine-washable. We recommend using cold water and a gentle cycle to protect the decoration and stretch fibers.

Is there a minimum order for custom socks?

Most of our socks have a 1-piece minimum for decoration. Wholesale bulk discounts for larger promotional runs begin at 12+ pieces.

Do you offer samples before ordering?

Yes. We encourage ordering samples to check the quality and fit of the socks before committing to a larger project.

How quickly can I get custom socks for an event?

Standard production time is 10-14 business days. For tight deadlines, we offer rush production services (3-5 days) to ensure your team is ready for the event.
