Custom socks stand out as a giveaway and a gift, and they come in a few sizes, which makes large orders simple. Choose knit-in designs for durability or printed designs for full color, add packaging for gifts, and plan for a longer lead time than printed apparel.
Knit or printed
Knit-in socks have the design woven into the fabric and last well. Printed socks, made with sublimation, allow full color photos and gradients. Knit designs work best with a few solid colors.
Sizes
Socks usually come in two or three sizes, such as small/medium and large/extra large. One size fits most for many events.
Packaging
For gifts and retail style programs, add a branded wrap or box. For event giveaways, plain polybags keep cost down.
Lead time
Custom knit socks are often made to order, so they take longer than printing blank apparel. Plan several weeks extra and confirm the date on your quote.
