Discover premium custom socks at Custom Sock Shop! Explore a wide range of printed designs for all occasions, including athletic, promotional, and dress socks. Perfect for corporate events, alumni gifts, sports teams, and special occasions like Christmas or birthdays.
What type of socks can I choose for my custom sock order?
Custom Sock Shop offers print socks, dress socks, and athletic socks.
Our athletic socks are made with 80% acrylic and a 20% blend of nylon and elastic. They are knitted specifically to have ribbing, arch support, and be tighter around the leg. The only athletic sock we offer that doesn’t follow that build is our Knee-High Performance Socks. These are made with 100% nylon to offer more compression than traditional athletic socks.
Our dress socks are made with 80% cotton, 18% nylon, and 2% spandex. The high-quality material used allows this to be a one-size-fits-most sock. Our dress socks are also made using a higher gauge needle machine which allows for more complex logos and a tighter knit. These are best for corporate sponsors, high-end giveaways, and intricate designs.
Lastly, our print socks are made with almost entirely cotton and use a heat transfer printing process to allow for intricate designs, photos, and logos. We print your design directly onto a blank cotton sock and ensure it looks good even when stretching the fabric. Unlike our knitted socks, these will tend to fade and shrink after continuous use and washing.
What type of artwork can be printed on socks?
We offer custom printed face socks, pet socks, holiday socks, logo socks, and more! The process is simple: simply upload your image, choose the type of sock and quantity you’d prefer, and place your order.
What kind of logos can I put on my sock?
Email us a .jpg or .pdf file of the logo you desire for review by our sock specialists. Please provide the style and size of sock on which you would like your logo. NOTE – The sock knitting process uses larger needles than embroidery that results in a pixelated stitch pattern. This process makes for durable custom socks but comes with its limitations. Designs are knit into the sock itself not applied on, so simple logos and text work best. Please view our logo library for examples and ideas. If you have a more intricate photo or logo you’d like on your sock, we may advise that you order printed socks. We print your design directly onto a blank cotton sock and ensure it looks good even when stretching the fabric. Good for face socks, pet socks, & photo socks.

Our custom socks can print up to 4 colors on one pair of socks for the best quality. If you have a special request, please contact our sales team at sales@customsockshop.com.
Why order custom socks?
Custom socks are perfect for team events, corporate gatherings, birthday gifts, fundraisers and more! If you’re looking for the perfect unique gift, consider the gift of custom socks with your loved one’s image on them! Our socks also make great alumni gifts, college swag, giveaway items, and the list goes on.
Do the socks shrink or fade after being washed?
Custom Sock Shop prides itself on creating quality socks that are durable. While knitted socks will shrink slightly, our acrylic blend ensures that no logos or colors will fade, and your socks will stand the test of time (and laundry). For our printed socks, they will tend to fade and shrink more quickly after being washed.
Our Process
Ordering is a breeze! Choose your sock type, upload your image, select the quantity (with tiered pricing), and fill out the checkout form. Receive an art proof within 48 hours (except for DTG printed socks). After approval, we’ll print and deliver your socks to your doorstep!
Do you have any sock templates I can use for designing?
Yes, we do. Below are six Illustrator files of basic sock template for you to use. We have also included an artwork proof template for you to use as well.
How do I order custom socks?
Our ordering process is fast and easy. Simply select the type of sock you’re looking for, upload your image, (ie: a logo, print, face image, pet photo, etc.) and select the quantity you’re looking for.
Once you’ve approved your proof, we’ll create your socks and send them directly to you!
Is there a minimum amount I must order?
Our printed socks have no minimum order amount! For athletic and dress socks, the minimum order is 12 pairs of the same color(s) and same size. However, you do not have to order in increments of 12 pairs, i.e. you can order 21 pairs if needed.
Can I have a free mockup of my sock?
While we charge a $12.00 fee for a physical sample of a similar sock style to be sent to you, we are more than happy to create a free digital mockup of your sock for free. Simply contact us with your design and our team will get to work on your free prototype.
Can I have a sample before I place my order?
If you are looking for a sample of our custom socks, we can provide you with one in most scenarios. Please add any logo, striping, size, and coloring requests with your sample order so we can do our best to find a previously designed sock that best fits your specifications. Samples are provided from overruns of previous orders that were created. Please note the sock you will receive will not be your design – only a sock that is similar. A sample will cost $12 with no shipping fees.
