Knit-In vs Printed Custom Socks
Custom socks are made in one of two ways: the design is knitted into the fabric, or printed onto it.
Here is how the two compare.
| Knit-in | Printed | |
|---|---|---|
| How it is made | Coloured yarns form the design as the sock is knitted | Ink is applied to the surface of a finished sock |
| Durability | Design lasts as long as the sock | Can fade or crack with washing |
| Feel | Same soft feel across the whole sock | Printed areas can feel stiffer |
| Colours | Limited number of yarn colours per design | Near-unlimited colours and photo detail |
| Best for | Logos, team kits, merchandise meant to last | Photographic or highly detailed artwork |
