Common questions about our sock manufacturing services
To begin working with us, you just need to contact us, sending your request about the project through this form or email. You send us your tech packs as well as the quantities per style color, price targets and deadline of the collection. Then, our commercial department will analyze the project to understand your vision, what the brand is looking for and how we can fulfill all your needs.
A Tech Pack is a framework for sharing your ideas in a structured way. Tech Packs are illustrated designs and specifications of your sock design. A Tech Pack is often required to obtain a quote from a manufacturer or agency, and to ensure that people understand how to make your design and its specifications.
You can submit your designs, tech packs, sketches or image references to us via our contact form. Alternatively, you can also email us at [email protected]
Note: If you don't have a tech pack, you can always send us physical samples from similar styles for what you want to produce.
Our minimum order quantities (MOQs) are customized for each project and may vary based on style and color requirements. For basic sock styles, our typical minimum starts at 300-500 pairs per style/color combination. For more complex technical designs, minimums may start at 500-1000 pairs. Send us your project at [email protected] or at www.portugaltextile.com/create-your-collection.
The project timeline is dependent on your specific needs. For standard sock productions, our typical lead time is 4-6 weeks from approval of final samples. For more complex or larger orders, lead times may be 6-8 weeks. Send us your project at [email protected] or at www.portugaltextile.com/create-your-collection.
We can source all types of yarns for sock development, including premium organic cotton, merino wool, bamboo, recycled polyester, and performance blends with elastane, nylon, and specialized moisture-wicking fibers. We also offer antimicrobial, temperature-regulating, and cushioning yarns for specialized athletic and therapeutic sock applications.
Yes! We have an internal team dedicated to the quality control of all the stages of the process. Every material is inspected before knitting begins. During production, we monitor knitting tension and pattern accuracy. Our quality controller team will check elasticity, durability, color fastness, seam smoothness, and ensure accurate sizing for each sock produced.
We provide sustainable, recycled, and biodegradable custom packaging solutions for your sock collection. Options include branded paper bands, hangtags, individual pouches, retail display boxes, and master cartons. Send us your requirements (size, material, colors, etc.) and artworks, and we will make it happen.
We work with several transport companies with land, air, and sea shipments, in order to send the collection to any destination in the world. For each place we have references to provide you the best solutions. Socks are generally lightweight, making air freight economical for most shipments when time is a priority.
