Branded socks have become one of the most effective and most kept pieces of corporate merchandise available. They’re worn daily, seen constantly, and unlike most promotional products, people actually want them. Solos™ is Australia’s premium supplier of custom logo printed socks — purpose-built for businesses, events, teams, and brands that want quality their audience will notice.
We’re not a print-on-demand operation. Every pair of Solos™ branded socks is engineered from the yarn up with performance materials, world-first NeuWave™ technology, and certifications that back up every claim we make. From 60 pairs to 10,000+, we deliver anywhere in the world.
What Are Branded Socks?
Branded socks are custom-manufactured socks that carry your company logo, colours, and design — produced at any scale from small team orders to large-volume wholesale runs. The term covers a wide range of products: from custom logo printed socks for corporate gifting, to full jacquard-knit team socks for sports clubs, to private-label retail ranges.
What separates premium branded socks from cheap printed alternatives is what’s underneath the logo. A Solos™ branded sock isn’t a generic blank with your design applied on top. It’s a performance product — engineered with specific yarn compositions, knit structures, and cushioning profiles — that your logo happens to be built into.
Why Branded Socks Outperform Other Promotional Products
The promotional products industry has a disposal problem. Most branded merchandise ends up in the bin within weeks. Socks are the exception. They’re a consumable people use every single day, generating brand impressions not just on the recipient but on everyone who sees them worn.
• Worn 3–4 times per week — generating consistent daily brand impressions
• Among the highest-retention promotional products — low discard rate vs. pens, lanyards, or stress balls
• Suitable for all ages, genders, and professions — universal gifting appeal
• Travel to the gym, golf course, office, events, and commute — wide reach per pair
• Perceived as premium when quality materials are used — signal brand investment
How Custom Logo Printing Works on Branded Socks
At Solos™, we don’t screen-print logos onto finished socks. Our branding process is fully knit-in — your logo, colours, and design are woven directly into the sock structure during manufacturing using a jacquard knit process. This means your branding never peels, fades, or cracks.
• Jacquard Knit Branding: Your design is programmed into the knitting machine and woven into the sock fibre during production. The result is sharp, durable, and colour-accurate branding that lasts the life of the sock.
• Pantone Matching System (PMS): We match your brand colours precisely using PMS codes. Up to 6 colours per pair. No guesswork, no colour drift between orders.
• Placement Flexibility: Logo placement is fully customisable — upper calf (inside or outside), across the toe, or the full sock body. We recommend avoiding the heel for complex logos as the curve can distort fine detail.
• Free Artwork in 12 Hours: Submit your logo files (AI, EPS, or high-res PDF) and our in-house design team produces a full digital mockup within 12 hours, at no charge. Approve, revise, or iterate until it’s right.
• OSFM Sizing: One Size Fits Most is used in 96% of all orders — eliminating the need to split quantities across sizes and keeping per-pair cost simple and consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the minimum order for branded socks?
The minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 60 pairs for most branded sock programs. For highly complex designs or specialty yarns, minimum quantities may vary. Contact admin@solossocks.com for a tailored quote.
Q2: How is the logo applied to the socks?
Your logo is knitted directly into the sock using a jacquard knit process — not printed on top. This means the branding is permanent: it won’t peel, crack, or fade over time. We support up to 6 colours per pair, matched using the Pantone Matching System (PMS).
Q3: How long does it take to produce branded socks?
Standard production takes 3–4 weeks after artwork approval. Express production is available at 7–21 days depending on product and quantity. After dispatch, delivery is 4–6 business days in Australia and 2–5 business days globally. Orders can arrive in as little as 7–10 days worldwide.
Q4: Do I need a designer to place an order?
No. Our in-house design team produces a full digital mockup within 12 hours of receiving your logo files, at no charge. All you need is your logo in AI, EPS, or high-resolution PDF format — and your Pantone colour codes if available.
Q5: Can I order different sock styles in the same order?
Yes. Many clients order across multiple product lines in one program — for example, bamboo dress socks for gifting and athletic socks for a team kit. Each product line is quoted separately. Contact us to discuss a multi-product order.
Q6: Are Solos™ branded socks safe for all skin types?
Yes. All Solos™ yarns carry OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, independently verified to be free from harmful substances and safe for direct skin contact, including sensitive skin. Our Merino golf range is also RWS certified.

Yes. We ship globally from our Australian warehouse via DHL Express and FedEx Express, tracked door-to-door. Delivery to Australia is 4–6 business days after dispatch. All other destinations are 2–5 business days. Free shipping is available on qualifying retail orders.
