Make personalised socks with Printify
It’s easy to use our online Product Creator (formerly known as Mockup Generator) and create never-before-seen socks. You can design them in minutes. Our Product Creator will take you through the process step by step.
As the socks are custom printed, you can be as creative as you like. Each part of the sock can have its own pattern. Once your first design is uploaded, you’ll be ready to get your entire custom sock collection online and ready to sell.

Sublimation socks
These personalised socks got their name because they’re printed using a flat sublimation method. This method is perfect for light-coloured prints.
The process involves heating a transfer paper with your design to 180-200 degrees Celsius. At this point, the design becomes a gas that permeates the garment. The result is a high-quality, long-lasting image with bright colours.
Sublimation socks
- Ultra-comfortable – 95% polyester and 5%
- Crew socks with a ribbed tube.
- Highest quality all-over print. The heel and the area around the toes remain black.
Sublimation Crew Socks (EU)
- 70% polyester exterior, 5% spandex waistband, and 25% cotton interior for maximum comfort and printability.
- Crew socks with a 1/8″ ribbed tube.
- Black tips and all-over print with vibrant sublimation colours for patterns and single pictures alike.
DTG socks
DTG stands for ‘direct to garment’ print. Using high-quality, specialised inks, the material soaks up the ink, which results in a longer-lasting, higher-quality image, less prone to small flecks of white.
This is perfect for custom-printed socks due to the average amount of wear they receive daily – any pattern or solid colour printed in the pair will stand.
Our DTG line also offers eco-friendly socks.
DTG socks
- 58% recycled polyester, 22% nylon, 15% cotton, and 5% elastane – printability, comfort, and sustainability for your eco-friendly line.
- Premium product – garment 200 needle knit with a proprietary blend of yarns by Tribe Socks for stepping up your sock game.
- The direct-to-garment, all-over print at 360F ensures a long-lasting print and vibrant colours.
DTG crew socks
- 73% polyester, 18% nylon, 3% cotton, and 6% elastane – printability, durability, and the utmost comfort.
- Premium quality fabric with cushioned bottoms.
- Crew length, one size fits all – suitable from women’s size 5 (US) to men’s size 12 (US). Check the precise measurements (imperial and metric) on the sock product page.

How to design personalised socks
Did you know that you can print your custom design over every inch of your custom sock? You can even produce a pair of printed socks with different designs on the right and left foot.
Our quality Print Providers handle the manufacturing with all-over-printing options, delivering eye-catching, attractive, and impactful designs.
- Printify’s Catalog offers a range of socks from Print Providers in the EU, UK, US, and China. Select the products and Print Providers that best meet your needs and match your preferences.
- Keep in mind that we’re constantly adding new partners and re-evaluating the existing Print Providers according to quality, delivery time, or other factors. Check the Print Provider ranking when choosing socks for your brand.
- Open the socks section in our Catalog, and use the filters to find the most appropriate merch for different designs. Select important details such as fulfillment locations, Print Providers, and printing process (direct-to-garment or dye sublimation).
- Every product will have additional customisation options – material, fabric, colour, and printing method – that will result in unique socks to match any personality and outfit.
Why not target a particular market, design a novelty range, or theme your socks around holidays and special events? Choose one of the following options for designing and printing socks:
- Upload photos with your designs.
Create designs yourself or with the help of an expert.
- Printify’s Shutterstock integration.
Choose from more than 300 million high-quality images without upfront costs. Adjust them with the built-in Shutterstock Editor, and don’t worry about licences and fees – all images come with a commercial licence, and $0.99 per image will be added to the product price only when ordered. - Choose a Printify free graphic or pattern.
Printify’s free library includes holiday designs, pets, chill, retro vibes, abstract shapes, and plenty more funky designs and graphic assets for creating instant best-sellers.
Once you upload or pick the right design, you can adjust, resize or move it around using the Product Creator or change the sock’s colour.
You don’t have to wait to sell. Printify’s no minimum order policy means customers can place orders right away. Individuals, small businesses, and large companies may produce and sell printed socks without upfront costs.
Connect your Printify account with the leading eCommerce platforms and start selling socks in the UK.
Printify integrates with:
- eBay, Etsy, and Amazon
These marketplaces have internal rules and policies and don’t offer customised storefronts. However, they provide a vast following and traffic from the start and no subscription fees. - BigCommerce, Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace
These eCommerce website builders will help you create a standalone eCommerce website without the restrictions of marketplaces. Your main challenge will be generating traffic. - PrestaShop and WooCommerce
These are open-source platforms that give full ownership of an eCommerce website. Unveiling their full potential may require the eventual purchasing of themes and plugins. They are recommended for tech-savvy and experienced users, as they require a steep learning curve.

Design ideas for custom
sock printing
Plain socks keep your feet warm. Personalised socks keep your feet cool. Women’s stockings, personalised men’s socks, face socks, holiday and Christmas merch – the potential for best-selling products with socks is limitless.
Here are some design ideas for you to make and start selling in no time.
Funny socks
Funny socks are the perfect gifts for close friends and the whole family. Pick the right colour and fabric and create a pair of socks with funny quotes, jokes, or photos. Personalised face socks, for instance, are trending and can be hilarious.
Personalised photo socks
Personalised socks with photos can make terrific gifts and convey a range of feelings to those close to you. Use them to commemorate and remember precious moments such as the birth of a baby, graduations, or anniversaries, or create unique funny socks with faces or other photos. Also, socks with sons’ and daughters’ pictures will make the day for moms and dads.
Remember that it’s also possible to use a different colour or picture for each foot to add extra customisation.
Socks with original artwork
Original artwork will make the most stylish personalised socks. Of course, that will depend on your skills, but it’s always possible to hire an expert designer to create remarkable and artistic pieces of clothing for you or your customer’s feet.
Business and brand socks
Finally, consider also offering socks with a logo or trademark for offering business merch or uniforms.

Absolutely not. You can order personalised socks to sell or for your own use with no minimums and the same delivery time. That applies to both DTG and sublimation socks.
- Do not dry clean or bleach printed socks.
- Use a gentle cycle (cool or warm water, max 30C/90F) and wash inside out.
- Check the fabric composition and use the indicated iron settings. Most socks have a blend of polyester, cotton, and spandex – avoid ironing socks with high-polyester content. If absolutely necessary, use a low-heat iron.
- Low tumble dry heat and dry flat to prevent creases in the fabric.
