Sox Factory True Print Technology

by | Technology

Think about a sock design full of colour, detail and patterns with your brand on. The Sox Factory has mastered a printed sock formula that allows any design to be printed onto a sock with limited restrictions. 

Difference between sublimation printing and the Sox Factory True Print technology:

Sublimation printing uses heat to transfer dye onto plastic, fabric or paper. As soon as a sock is stretched, for instance, the sublimation print will fade away. With Sox Factory’s method, the ink is burned into the material, which allows the dye to absorb within the fibres. 

Are there restrictions to a printed sock?

Design possibilities are endless. From gradients to patterns, botanical to photos, we have tons of examples of how clients have utilised the printed sock technology. Fine lines and small patterns will have to be checked by our design team, but we always find a workaround.

Can I design my own work of art? 

Yes, you can draw it, design it or even paint it. Our print technology allows clients to think outside of the box and showcase their imagination. 

If you would like to design your own artwork, we always require a vector logo/image format, which means the image is not compressed into pixels. The files should be high resolution to print the best quality socks for you.

PolyLon36? Why it is the best material for custom socks

Polylon36, a modified polyester, is a highly sustainable material option when compared to natural yarns like cotton. This is because Polylon36 has a much longer lifespan than cotton, due to its superior durability and resistance to wear and tear. Studies have shown that Polylon36 can last up to three times longer than a natural yarn sock, reducing the need for frequent replacement and thus reducing the environmental impact of textile production.

In addition to its longevity, Polylon36 is also a more sustainable option because it requires less water and pesticides to produce compared to cotton. Cotton is known to be one of the most water-intensive crops to grow, and the use of pesticides in cotton farming can have negative impacts on the environment and human health.

Furthermore, the use of water-based inks in printing Polyester Nylon-blend textiles reduces the environmental impact compared to traditional petroleum-based inks. This is because water-based inks are non-toxic and biodegradable, reducing the risk of pollution and harm to the environment.

It’s also important to note that the manufacturing process for textiles, regardless of the material, requires a significant amount of energy. However, by choosing a material like Polylon36 with a longer lifespan, we can reduce the overall energy consumption and carbon footprint associated with textile production.
