Sports Socks OEM/ODM Guide: From Concept to Production in 5 Steps
Starting your own sports socks brand? Our comprehensive guide walks you through the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) process.
Step 1: Product Design
Decide on the type of socks you want: running, basketball, cycling, or multi-sport. Consider material (polyester-spandex blend recommended for moisture-wicking).
Step 2: Material Selection
Choose your fabric blend. Most professional sports socks use:
- 80% Polyester + 18% Spandex + 2% Other (performance)
- 75% Cotton + 23% Polyester + 2% Spandex (comfort)
Step 3: Logo and Packaging
Provide your logo in vector format (AI/EPS). Decide on packaging: poly bag, box, or custom retail packaging.
Step 4: Sample Production
Typical sample lead time: 7-10 days. Review and approve sample before mass production.
Step 5: Mass Production
Production time: 15-20 days for 5,000-10,000 pairs. Quality inspection before shipping.
