As a B Corp certified company, we prioritize sustainable practices, ensuring every pair of socks is made responsibly with both people and the planet in mind. 🌍✨ Here's how to create your custom socks with us, step by step:


🎨 Step 1: Prepare Your Design

  • Ai or PNG files work best for creating high-quality mockups. We also accept PDF, JPEG, or any digital format that suits you.
  • No design? No problem! Simply sketch your idea on paper, and our team will bring it to life. It doesn’t have to be perfect; we’ll refine it for you.

🧵 Step 2: Choose Your Material

The material of your socks determines both their comfort and function. Let’s break down the most popular options:

🌿 Cotton

  • Breathable & Comfortable: Cotton is a soft, natural fiber, perfect for everyday wear.
  • Absorbs Moisture: Ideal for keeping your feet dry and comfortable throughout the day.

❄️ Wool

  • Warm & Moisture-Wicking: Wool is great for colder weather or outdoor activities, keeping your feet warm while wicking away moisture.
  • Natural Durability: Wool socks are known for being durable and perfect for more rugged use.

🔄 Blends (Cotton + Synthetic)

  • Best of Both Worlds: Combining cotton with synthetic fibers enhances breathability while offering durability and easy care. Great for activewear or daily wear socks.

Selecting the right material is key to ensuring your custom socks meet the specific needs of your customers, whether for comfort, warmth, or durability.


🖨️ Step 3: Choose Your Printing Method

Now that you've selected your material, it's time to decide on how to print your design. Each method offers unique benefits:

🎨 Screen Printing

  • Affordable & Simple: Ideal for basic designs with fewer colors.
  • Durability: While budget-friendly, screen printing can fade or crack over time, especially with heavy wear.

🖨️ Digital Printing

  • Full Color & Fine Detail: This method lets you print vibrant, intricate designs directly onto the socks.
  • Best for Detailed Designs: Perfect for designs with gradients or lots of color, though the ink may not be as durable as other methods.

🔥 Heat Transfer

  • Cost-Effective: Great for vibrant, bold designs transferred through heat.
  • Consider Longevity: While affordable, heat transfer can leave a slight residue, and durability might be lower.

🧶 Embroidery

  • High-Quality & Durable: Embroidery involves stitching your design with thread for a premium finish that lasts.
  • Best for Logos or Text: Ideal for branding or simpler designs, as the thread will maintain its color and texture over time.

Embroidery adds a luxurious feel, while printed methods are better suited for more colorful and complex designs. Consider the look and feel you want when making your choice!


📦 Step 4: Decide on the Quantity

At Pinlordshop.com, we believe in reducing waste and upholding sustainability, which is why our minimum order quantity (MOQ) is carefully set to minimize excess. Here’s how it works:

  • Standard MOQ: 100 pairs per design.
  • Starting Out? No problem! We can accommodate orders of 50 for those testing the waters with their brand.

By choosing a sustainable quantity, you're not only meeting your customers' needs but also helping to reduce waste and support responsible production practices. ♻️
