What is the minimum order quantity for socks?

Our minimum order is 500 pieces per colour, in every category. It applies per colourway, so one socks style in three colours comes to 1,500 pieces in total.

Overview

About our socks

We supply knitted socks: everyday cotton crew socks, performance athletic styles, wool blend boot socks, and fine gauge dress socks. Socks are usually quoted by the dozen. Most buyers are either retailers building a private label sock line, or teams and institutions ordering branded athletic socks in bulk.

Why buy from us

What you can expect

Consistent knit gauge

Our knitting mills hold gauge and stretch recovery steady across dye lots, so sizing stays the same between reorders.

Branding knitted in

Logos and patterns are knitted in during the same run as the sock itself, with no separate embroidery step.

Reinforced heel and toe

Heel and toe reinforcement is standard on our base constructions, so the socks last longer for retail and institutional buyers.

Quoted by the dozen

The 500 pair per colour minimum works out to about 42 dozen, which keeps a first order within reach.

Minimum and pricing

Minimum order: 500 pieces per colour

The minimum is the same as for everything else we make, and it counts per colour rather than per order. One style in three colours is 1,500 pieces. The minimum stays fixed. The price moves, and these three things move it most.

Jacquard complexity

A simple knitted in logo adds little to the unit price. Multi colour jacquard patterns need machine setup, which is spread across your 500 pairs.

Yarn

Combed cotton is stocked and cheapest. Wool blend and compression yarns are bought to order and priced to match.

Packaging

Loose packed dozens are the baseline. Header cards and retail poly bags add a small per unit cost and a short print lead time.
