When you make custom socks with EverLighten on-demand manufacturing service, you can.

1. Directly work with factory

We EverLighten directly owns the sock factory based in China. So we are able to provide direct factory pricing and control every step along production to ensure perfect quality.

2. Get exactly what you want with our free design service.

Proud to offer deep design, we work on your prototype until you’re happy – at no extra cost.

Here’s how it works: Once our team has created your design, we’ll send you a digital mockup. We’ll make adjustments until you’ve got the product you want. Upon your approval, we’ll then produce a physical sample of the socks and send you images from the factory.

You can also request to receive a physical sample by mail.

3. Use one of three fabrication methods to fit your unique needs.

We produce your custom socks using one of the following fabrication methods: jacquard/knitted, and 360-degree digital printing. Let’s break that down.

Jacquard/knitted – This is the traditional method for fabricating socks. It just means your design is woven directly into the sock, rather than printed or emblazoned.

360-degree digital printing – An upgraded dye sublimation, 360-degree printing has higher color fidelity and printing precision.

4. Choose from a half-dozen popular styles.

Whatever kind of sock you need, we’ve got it: No show, crew, knee-high, athletic, no slip, plus branded socks in any of these styles.

5. Brand your customers’ unboxing experience with custom kitting. 

Sure, your socks may speak for themselves. But today’s market is all about memorable experiences. Give your customers something to talk about – and a brand to remember – by decking out your custom socks with custom backing, tags, labels and packaging.
