Socks manufacturing is not a high-tech industry, but the whole socks manufacturing process does involve many steps, and the coordination between these steps makes the whole process time-consuming. 10 years ago there was very little sock manufacturing going on in Vietnam not to mention the price was higher than China. Now the Vietnamese are getting smarter and have opened up local sock factories. In the sock production end, socks manufacturing factories have to consider lots of things such as: Yarn choice, yarn color accuracy, knitting machine needles, Sock sizes, weight, production lead time, sock quality inspection, sock packaging and private labeling, Import tax and VAT, international delivery are services I can help you with.
1. Pattern coding
You provide sock companies in Vietnam the sock designs, they will need a professional coding team who are familiar with sock pattern and machine mechanism to transfer your vector designs into bitmap designs and then codes that the knitting machines can read. Why do they have to do this extra step? Because sock knitting machine are not that intelligent to read the designs directly. Every pixel of the bitmap design means a thread with the specific color will be knitted through.

Color accuracy is one of the most important things in custom socks manufacturing. To ensure the socks are of the same color as designed, we suggest our clients to use Pantone TCX colors reference. There are 3 ways that you can find pantone tcx colors for your design:
Buy a pantone cotton passport (FHIC200).
Use Pantone color manager (free if you purchase a pantone color passport).
Match pantone tcx colors using online free official tools.
3. Knitting socks
Using programmed codes in step 1, multitude of needles then knit the various threads into a series of interlocking loops. Computerized sock knitting machines work at high speeds and can easily be programmed to produce a wide variety of socks. 1st inline-inspection is implemented here to avoid mistakes like length, trimming, interlocking etc.
