How to Find the Best Custom Sock Manufacturer

Below are some tips to help you find the best partner to make custom wholesale socks for your company!

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Yipin.

1. Do Your Research Online

To find the best sock suppliers, you should first conduct extensive research online. You can search things like “sock manufacturers usa” to find domestic vendors, like Sock Club, or things like “cheap wholesale custom socks” to find vendors overseas.

Your goal is to find reliable companies that can make branded socks. Check out their past work and reviews to make sure they can meet your needs. Some things to consider might be how detailed your logo is on your bulk custom socks, how quickly you need them, or what kind of personalization you want on them.

They should also be a reputable company to work with. Sock vendors who have made custom bulk socks before should have several reviews and case studies about clients that have ordered from them before.

2. Go to Trade Shows

Another way to find the best custom socks manufacturer for your needs is by attending trade shows. You will be able to meet various vendors in one place, have informative conversations, be able to ask questions and establish connections while feeling and seeing their product at the same time.

If you are in the promotional products industry, some great trade shows to attend are PPAI and the ASI Show. MAGIC is by far the most popular US trade show for finding fashion manufacturers.

3. Look for a Referral

Reach out to personal connections and other businesses that have purchased custom socks wholesale. These individuals are likely in merchandise or marketing departments that will be able to offer insight or referrals to help you on your search. They will give you their personal experience and suggestions which are great to factor into your research. 

What to Expect from a Custom Sock Manufacturer:

1. Free Custom Sock Design

While creating custom socks with logo wholesale, it is important to consider wholesale sock manufacturers that allow their customers to create free branded sock designs. Some companies will charge extra fees for design help, but at Sock Club we offer free custom sock designs created by real, talented artists, not a computer. We have an in-house team of 12 incredible designers ready to bring your dream custom socks to life!

We also provide free custom sock design templates if you wish to create your own artwork for your branded socks project, however again our designers are always available to help.  

2. Competitive Pricing

Another thing you should consider is the price. Pricing may vary between custom sock types, such as custom dress socks and custom ankle socks, or sock materials, i.e. custom cotton socks vs custom wool socks. You want to make sure you understand the pricing per unit and how it differs from other sock types.

Want more information on dress socks manufacturer? Feel free to contact us.

It’s also necessary that you pay attention to the competitive price of custom knitted socks in the market. Cheaper doesn't mean better! The total cost of custom branded socks vary because of the quality of the material used, the packaging, and the different manufacturing processes, other fees, the turnaround time, where the socks are shipped from and the level of customization. 

You should get all this information from your custom sock manufacturers before you order custom socks in bulk. This will help you sort out the most suitable deal that won't affect your budget drastically.

3. Custom Sock Materials

Another thing you should pay attention to before you hire a sock manufacturer is the type and quality of the materials used in your custom socks. Many sock manufacturers create their custom knitted socks with synthetic materials to provide elasticity, but this is not the best and most comfortable option because they are not breathable or moisture wicking.

You should look for wholesale custom socks manufacturers who use mainly cotton materials for their custom knit socks. This is most suitable because cotton is a soft, cozy material that both breathes better and easily absorbs moisture. Also, make sure that you get a sample pair of socks before buying custom socks in bulk.

4. Shipping Fees and Speed

While ordering your branded socks, you should consider the shipping fees that may apply to your custom sock order. While some wholesale sock manufacturers provide free shipping on bulk orders, other sock manufacturers will charge you more. Whichever it is, you need to pay attention to the shipping fees before you make your choice.

Also keep in mind potential rush fees if you need an order fast. These can be expensive, but at Sock Club, we don’t charge any additional fees- just pay for the socks!

5. Customer Service

The best custom sock company should also have great customer service. It’s essential to have an engaged, helpful, responsive and friendly representative from the company to assist you in case a question or concern comes up. At Sock Club, we are real people who answer the and pride ourselves with having account managers to help you every step of the way.

As someone who has no eye for fashion at all, I’m slowly trying to upgrade my wardrobe. I have some great new business attire (Charles Tywhitt, Suit Supply, Allen Edmonds…all a significant upgrade from the really worn out cheap stuff I had before). Spent many hours of research as I had no idea before.

Now I need some socks to wrap up my work wear. I have dress socks that are a decade old that are probably awful cheap garbage.

Any recommendations on brands for high comfort and quality to pair with my new work wear?

I have a number of Goldtoe over the calf socks that are nice. They aren't terribly expensive and seem to be holding up well.

I have several pairs of the OTC wool socks from Boardroom Socks -- the name could be better, but they are made in the US and seem to be holding up well for me. Price is good compared to Bresciani, Pantherella, etc.

Celchuk makes nice, reasonably priced dress socks in Turkey of Egyptian cotton. (I avoid the merino wool versions because they don’t last long unless you’re good with a darning needle.) The website is a little squirrelly (they’re in Turkey) but they deliver on time, with free shipping on orders over $100.

I had to stop buying them here in Italy because they don’t include VAT in the price, so I was getting hit with huge Italian customs bills from DHL, negating the bargain price. Shouldn’t be an issue in VAT-less U.S. where I believe you would need to buy a serious buttload of socks before hitting the duty threshold. Canadians might need to pay VAT however.

Are these the exact same as the Viccel socks or are they slightly different?

I ask because i dont love my Viccel socks. I purchased some Bombas wool socks and they are heavenly compared to the Vicces (wool vs cotton so completely not fair). With that said the Viccel feel tight and very unforgiving. Maybe i just need to size up or maybe they shrunk. Both are possible i suppose.

I think they are the former Viccel.

I like Gold Toe metropolitans and Boardroom Socks. Only get over the calf. Gold Toes in particular are attractive for a very inexpensive sock.

I bougjt over the calf for the first time not long ago. I’m finding them annoying because when the pant leg goes up for any reason, the friction prevent it of going back down.

It’s a personal preference. If I buy calf length, I find them falling down and bunching up around my ankles. OTC hides your bare legs better when sitting or crossing your legs too.

Only a problem if you like a slim fit in your trousers.
