When you source custom socks from China, understanding the manufacturing process helps you make better decisions about quality, конструкција, прилагођавање, cost and production lead time.
У МАКЕСОЦК-у, we manufacture custom socks through a controlled production process that can include yarn selection, computerized knitting, toe linking, boarding and shaping, прилагођавање, дорада, quality inspection and packaging.
Different sock types require different manufacturing methods. Athletic socks, компресијске чарапе, grip socks, чарапе од мерино вуне, fashion socks and private label socks may use different yarns, структуре за плетење, machines and finishing techniques.
The manufacturing process starts with selecting the appropriate yarn and fiber combination.
Depending on your product requirements, we can work with materials such as cotton, organic cotton, мерино вуна, бамбус, polyester, рециклирани полиестер, најлон, spandex and performance fibers.
Material selection affects softness, издржљивост, управљање влагом, истегнути, warmth and overall performance.
Computerized knitting machines create the basic sock structure.
Knitting parameters can be adjusted according to your design, including sock length, боје, узорци, логос, rib structures, mesh zones and cushioning.
After knitting, the toe opening is closed through toe linking or other appropriate finishing methods.
A properly finished toe helps improve comfort, appearance and dimensional consistency.
The socks are shaped and finished to achieve a consistent appearance and size.
Boarding helps establish the final shape and presentation of the sock before inspection and packing.
Depending on your design, customization may include jacquard knitting, штампање, вез, grip applications, етикете, packaging and other branding elements.
We inspect materials, димензије, израде, боје, конструкција, customization and packaging according to the agreed specifications.
Finished socks are inspected before packing and shipment.
Packaging can be customized for wholesale, малопродаја, private label and promotional programs.
