Custom Tube Socks
posted August 31, 2009 - 10:46pmWhen it comes to customized socks, custom tube socks are a pretty popular model? Why mostly because they are used in a wide variety of sports, from soccer to baseball, hocket and football. In addition, they are also used for cheerleading, which means every single sports club has a
use for this model. Also known as knee high socks, they are pretty popular as stripe tube socks and polka dot tube socks.

The most important thing when looking into ordering custom made tube socks, is to make sure they can indeed be personalized. Not only, should be able to choose the color(s) you want, but you should also be able to add some text and your team logo.
In terms of fabric, since these sports are pretty intensive, we do not recommend cotton, as it is notorious for being blisters-friendly by absorbing the sweat. We instead recommend getting technical socks, which are great at wicking the moisture away, which means they will get rid of the sweat and prevent blisters. In addition, technical socks keep your feet comfortable, even if it's cold and humid.
When it comes to sizes, you shouldn't worry. They are usually stretch-to-fit, fitting all sizes. However, you should be able ask for specific sizes, if you need.
As for the minimum quantity that is usually required when ordering custom made hockey socks, it varies, from 100 to 300. However keep in mind that, because of the manufacturing costs, it is often more profitable to order 300 pairs than 100 (the less socks they make for you, the higher they charge you for a pair).
The delivery time is another element to consider but the standard is usually 4 to 8 weeks.
Finally, when it comes to prices, just ask for a quote. Most customized knee high custom socks manufacturers will be happy to give you a deal but you should at least consider if they charge a set-up fee or not.
Also, depending on your sense of ethics, you can also ask where the socks are manufactured ... The cheapest and lowest-quality socks are most of the time manufactured in sweat shops in poor countries, taking advantage of the local workforce, including kids. Personally, I always make sure they are made in the US ... but that's just me.
Keep all these elements in mind and you should be able to find the manufacturer that works best for you and get great custom knee high tube socks.
