The Process Of How Socks Are Made
01. Setting the Tone
If the brief is inaccurate, the whole socks manufacturing process will be corrupted. We make sure that this never happens. Our socks manufacturing experienced team contact you and start digging deeper into your business needs regarding your required designs, preferable patterns detailed yarn selection, machinery work, and the final look targets. After getting all the data needed, we analyze it and a detailed action plan is created accordingly to provide you with the exact socks production solutions you desire.
02. It’s Design Time!
In this stage, we have to determine the designs and patterns for socks manufacturing. We also need to get your hangtags, labels, and packages ready. Our team of designers is ready to support in here! You can choose between using some of our designs, asking us to create private label ones for you, or you can provide us with your brand designs. Regarding the hangtags and labels, you insert your private brand ones or you can go for inserting CJ Socks Factory’ hangtags and labels.
03. Is That a Yes?
We understood all what you need and we presented options accordingly. Now, it’s confirmation time! Along with pointing out your final socks design requests, you start confirming the order quantity, composition, and size.
04. A Sample on its Way
Now we have agreed on every teeny tiny detail, time for some samples then! We never waste time in that phase, 7 days maximum and the accurate samples are ready. If we are talking about “quality samples”, samples will be totally free. However, if you needed a specially-customized sample regarding the look as well, production and delivery fees will be needed. Our customized samples are the typical version of what will be produced, accurately highlighting not only the quality of materials but also the design we agreed upon.
05. Pattern Coding
We speak your language, and then we spell it out to our machines using its own language; coding. CJ Socks Factory’ team of tech professionals start converting the desired custom socks design into codes that are accurately clear to the knitting machine. Now, our pattern coding is ready and the socks knitting machines are up to the mission of your socks production!
06. Yarn Selection
When producing your order, we use our standard socks knitting yarns that consist of 80% of pure cotton and 20% of mixed fabrics. And let us tell you a bit more about those mixed fabrics. They are 50% of Lycra mixed with either Polyamide or Polyester, adding to them 5% Elastic. By this combination, the 20% of the mixed fabrics are functioning as the support system for your pieces. They are proved to be perfectly supporting the yarn to make the sock ideally fit and totally comfortable for all sizes.
07. Dying Process
After selecting the most suitable socks yarn for your order, we start with the coloring and dying process. You can choose from the default color palette or you can ask our dying experts to carry out the color matching system, ending up with the exact customized color you need for your socks production order.
08. Knitting Socks
As long as the yarns and designs are programmed into the socks knitting machine, the knitting process of socks begins and the magic starts to happen. In smooth and symphonic movements, the selected socks yarn come in action with the programmed designs and best socks knitting technology. By the end of it, the basic socks pieces are brought to life.
09. First Inspection
Socks Manufacturing Quality assurance time! Once the socks’ first production line is out, our experienced workers dive into every single sock and start examining it thoroughly. It’s moved from one eye to another until we make sure that all the basic pieces are error-free, and then we keep moving the socks production process.
10. Linking/Sewing Socks
Socks Machines go for hard work, while workers do the guidance part! By automatically linking and sewing the socks, the effort of the manual work is all dedicated now to detect the defective socks -if there are any- and fix them simply and quickly.

12. Boarding
The boarding stage is a simple one. It paves the way for the final stage by ironing the socks and making sure they are kept in perfect shape. And then they go to under a fixed degree of pressure and temperature to keep the socks tidy and bright.
13. Pairing, Labeling socks & final Inspection
