What we actually do
We are the factory, not a print broker
Most dropshipping suppliers are middlemen — they take your order, mark it up, and send it to a factory. We knit the blank sock ourselves in our own mills, print it on our own 360° digital presses, and ship it from our own warehouse. There is nobody between you and production, which is why the per-pair price works at low volume and why we can answer a technical question the same day.
We knit the sock
CS-PS02 crew blank, 96% polyester / 4% spandex, soft cotton-like hand, woven black heel and toe. Made in our own mills across the USA, China and Cambodia.
We print the design
360° digital printing, full colour, edge to edge across the whole white body. No screens, no plates, no colour limits, no setup cost per order.
We ship to your buyer
Packed and posted directly to your customer's address, worldwide. Your branding on the packing slip. Our name appears nowhere.
From their click to their doorstep
Four steps. After the first one, most of it runs without you.
1
Your customer orders
On your store, at your price. You keep the margin between your retail price and our factory price.
2
The order reaches us
Automatically through the API, or as a simple order sheet if you would rather keep it manual at first.
3
We print and pack
Printed to order — nothing sits in stock. Typically dispatched within 5–10 business days.
4
It arrives branded
Under your name, with tracking passed back to you so your customer sees a normal delivery.

The economics, plainly
A printed pair of socks typically retails between $18 and $25. Here is roughly what sits underneath that.
| Monthly volume | Your cost per pair | Typical retail | Your gross margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 50 pairs | $6.25 | $18–$25 | ~65–75% |
| 100–250 pairs | $4.50–$5.25 | $18–$25 | ~72–80% |
| 500–1,000 pairs | $3.40–$3.90 | $18–$25 | ~78–86% |
| 2,500+ pairs | from $2.90 | $18–$25 | Quoted directly |
Retail figures are market observations, not a promise of what you will achieve — your pricing is entirely yours to set. Shipping is charged separately and depends on destination.

- API for automatic order routing
- Tracking numbers returned to you
- Our team helps you set it up
Questions partners ask
Is there a minimum order?
Not per order — we will print and ship a single pair. There is no monthly minimum and no commitment to a volume you have not sold.
Does my customer know it came from you?
No. Orders ship under your branding with your details on the packing slip. We do not include our own marketing material.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing. There is no setup fee, no monthly platform fee and no inventory buy-in. You pay per order, after your customer has paid you.
How long does fulfilment take?
Typically 5–10 business days from receiving the order, plus transit time to your customer. Everything is printed to order rather than picked from stock.
Do I need my own designs?
No. You can use our preset design library, put your logo on one of our backgrounds, or supply completely custom artwork — whatever suits your store.
What if a pair arrives faulty or misprinted?
If it is our error, we reprint and reship it at our cost. We would rather protect your customer relationship than argue over one pair.
Can you ship internationally?
Yes — we ship worldwide from facilities in the USA, China and Cambodia, and we will route your orders from whichever makes most sense for your market.
Can I also buy in bulk instead?
Of course. If holding a little stock suits you better, the same socks are available by the pack with volume pricing down to $2.90 a pair.
