5 Amazing Benefits of Customized Socks

Why Choose Customized Socks from Sockrates?

‍

The Easy & Efficient Design Process

Most custom sock manufacturers offer a free design process. We’ll give them that, BUT – and this is a big one – you’ll likely be working on your own custom socks or with a general graphic designer without any clothing, let alone socks, design experience.

‍

With us, you work one-on-one with an experienced Socktologist (our word for sock designer). We offer unlimited revisions and get it done exactly how you envisioned it.

‍

Working with our artists who produce a unique rendering of your desired artwork also means that the weaving machines are programmed with your custom design.

‍

This ensures the socks themselves will look exactly how you have imagined, right down to the tone and hue of your chosen colours, using Pantone colour technology.

Expertise and Attention to Detail

When you choose Sockrates Custom Socks, you benefit from socks customized by our experienced sock designers. Our artists will create a unique rendering of your desired artwork, which is then programmed into our weaving machines. This guarantees that the final product reflects your vision right down to the finest details, such as the tone and hue of your chosen colors.

‍

We use Pantone color technology to ensure precise color matching, so you can be confident that your custom socks will accurately represent your brand or organization. From athletic socks to wool socks, grip socks to cotton dress socks, or organic cotton socks, we offer a variety of sock types to suit your specific needs.

Your Sock Design Package

Your design package includes a style guide to help you choose a sock style within your category. For example, if you decide to make athletic socks, you will be offered a choice of crew, knee-high, ankle, or no-show socks.

‍

There is also a design template to help you envision how the customized sock will be made, how to choose the colours, and a label template. That’s it! We’ll be the first to tell you there are so many interesting things to learn about socks and the processes involved in making them.

‍

If you have time, you can check out our blog posts, but you won’t need a formal education to order socks from us. We like to keep things simple.

The Best Socks Are Simple Socks

As you begin the design process, you may be tempted to pick a rainbow of colours, several wordy phrases or tags, and a complicated logo. The maximum number of colour choices on a custom sock order is five. It’s an industry standard because each time the yarn colour changes, the weaving machine has to cut off one color and begin another.

‍

Extensive colour changes create bulk, making the inside of the socks uncomfortable. However, we encourage you to use the colours that best represent your brand, organization, or company, and we guarantee your colour choices will be exact, based on Pantone colours.

‍

‍

Sock makers limit the number of colours you can use for one sock, but we encourage you to be bold in your choices. The sky’s the limit with Pantone colours, so choose your favorites and we’ll make it happen!

‍

After you have chosen your colours you may want to add a logo. Overly complicated logos are a definite no-no because the more complex a logo is, the harder it is for our machines to replicate it clearly.

‍

A simplified version of your logo without multiple overlays or gradients will show best on your custom socks. But don’t worry. We even take care of simplifying the logo if needed.

‍

One last tip we always stress is to make sure your patterns or logos don’t bleed into the heel and toe areas of the sock. Because these areas host the seams and contribute to the overall structure of the sock, you want to make sure these are the most comfortable areas. Remember, the more you add, the more bulk you’ll have between colour changes, ultimately affecting the comfort of your recipients.

‍

Basically, less is more when it comes to your sock design. Simple choices will produce the most dynamic custom socks.

What Happens After My Design is Completed?

We will start the production of your customized socks, and you will get your order within seven days after design completion! We are confident you’ll love your socks, but if for some reason you are not 100% satisfied with your high-quality Italian-made socks, we’ll make it right.

‍

We offer a low 100-pair minimum so you can design a few different styles of socks for your next trade show giveaways, contest, swag offer, fundraiser, or even custom Christmas socks!
