What is the difference between jacquard knit socks and sublimated socks
Jacquard knit socks have your logo woven directly into the fabric during the knitting process, making the branding a permanent part of the sock's construction. Sublimated socks use a heat-transfer process to apply full-colour artwork across the entire sock surface, which suits bold graphics, gradients and all-over patterns. Jacquard knitting works well for simpler logos and brand colours, while sublimation is the better fit for complex artwork or activations where visual impact is the priority. Both methods produce durable results.
What is the difference between crew, ankle, quarter and business sock lengths
Crew socks rise to mid-calf and are the most versatile length across corporate gift packs, staff rewards and casual wear. Business socks share a similar profile but are cut with a lighter knit weight suited to dress shoes and formal attire. Ankle socks sit just above the shoe line, working well for casual dress and activewear. Quarter socks fall between ankle and crew in height and are popular with sporting clubs and outdoor event merchandise. Your use case and dress code should guide the length choice.
Which promotional socks suit a tradeshow or conference giveaway
The Mojo Crew Sock is the strongest choice for tradeshows, conferences and product launches where you need a giveaway that creates genuine interest. Full-colour sublimation covers the entire sock surface, so your brand colours and artwork fill every section of fabric rather than appearing in a small badge zone. It's a style that gets kept and worn, which extends your brand's reach well beyond the day of the activation. For higher-volume conference bags where budget is tighter, the Moda Crew is a practical jacquard-knit alternative.
What sock styles work best for sporting clubs, schools and community organisations
The Moda Ankle, Moda Quarter and Moda Crew socks are the most popular choices for sporting clubs, schools, charities and community groups running sports days, fundraisers or uniform programs. All three styles sit at accessible price points and are knit from a cotton-polyester-spandex blend that handles regular wear and washing well. The ankle and quarter lengths appeal to clubs running outdoor activities, while the crew length is a strong fit for school merchandise and fundraiser packs. Two size options cover most adult and older youth wearers.
Can I get branded socks with a full-colour logo
Yes, full-colour branding is available through sublimation, which applies your artwork across the entire sock surface using a heat-transfer process. The Mojo Crew Sock is the primary sublimated style in the range and is made from a 75% cotton and 22% polyester blend that takes colour vibrantly. Jacquard knit socks can incorporate multiple brand colours woven into the pattern, though they're better suited to simpler logo work than photographic or gradient artwork. Our team will recommend the right method based on your artwork file when you request a quote.
How long does it take to produce custom branded socks
Most custom branded sock orders are completed within two to three weeks from the date your digital proof is approved, subject to stock availability. Sublimated styles and large jacquard knit runs may require additional lead time depending on volume and complexity. If you have a fixed event date or dispatch deadline, let our team know when you request your quote on 1300 85 50 35 so we can confirm your production window upfront and prioritise accordingly. Planning at least three to four weeks ahead is always recommended for larger orders.
What is the minimum order quantity for promotional socks
Minimum order quantities for branded socks typically start at around 50 to 100 pairs for stock styles, though this varies by product and decoration method. Custom-made or overseas-manufactured styles generally carry higher minimums and longer lead times than stock items. Exact minimums depend on the specific style and your branding requirements, so we recommend requesting a quote on 1300 85 50 35 for a clear figure. Our team will confirm quantities, pricing and timelines based on your brief rather than giving you a number that may not apply to your order.
What materials are promotional socks made from
Promotional socks in our range are made from cotton-dominant blends that balance comfort, durability and print quality across different decoration methods. The June range uses 93% cotton, 4% chinlon and 3% spandex for a soft, structured fit. The Moda range uses either an 80% cotton and 17% polyester blend or a 60% cotton and 37% polyester blend depending on the style. The Mojo Crew Sock uses 75% cotton and 22% polyester, which gives sublimation prints a clean, vibrant surface. All styles include spandex for stretch comfort and a secure fit across both available sizes.
