What makes our socks and templates special

• loaded on templates the socks are ready for easy printing and order fulfillment
• cotton blend socks developed to our specifications especially for DTG printing
• multiple pairs of socks are printed in the same print run on the template
• the templates are designed to easily match up pairs of socks after the printing process
• depending on the socks style the templates vary in size to maximize the print area of each sock
• reduce labor costs with our out of the box print ready socks
• basic styles and colors to fit a wide range of sock needs

Why are the templates made of cardstock

• the cardstock absorbs moisture from the socks during the heat curing process
• warm (not hot) to the touch when taking off the heat press
• sturdy enough to hold the socks in place and has minimal effect on the distance between the print table and ink head
• absorbs any extra ink that comes through the sock fabric during the heating process
• the templates can be re-purposed for test printing design placement and color before printing on the socks
• made of recyclable card stock, please recycle!

What is the investment in printing on socks

• besides your printer, heat press, inks, and pre-treatment you'll just need a roll of blue painters tape on hand to secure socks on the print table and cover specific areas from ink head strikes
• for full print socks, sheets of paper to cover the print table to absorb bleed line ink. You can get a roll of white butcher paper and cut down to the print table size
• sock inventory - you can start with a 24 pair box/size/color

Can the socks be used for other decorative apparel methods

• vinyl cut outs can be heat pressed on the socks
• rhinestones can applied with heat or grommets
• because our socks are a cotton blend they are not a good choice for sublimation
