Payment Terms: Our made-to-order process requires full payment before we begin production on your order.
Minimums: For domestic production, the minimum quantity is 30 pairs per design and size. For imported production, the minimum is 125 pairs per design and size.
Set-Up Charge: There is a one-time $150 (C) set-up charge for new designs only. This covers the costs of art preparation and getting manufacturing ready to produce your order.
Spec Sample (optional): If you are curious to see how your design looks on a real sock before placing an order, we can accommodate that for a fee of $250 (C). Please note that if you decide to move forward and place an order based on the spec sample, we will refund $60 back to you. This way, you can get a feel for the product with your design before committing to an order.
Custom Packaging or UPC Barcodes: Add $1.55 (C) for belly bands or hang tags - 60 pair minimum required. Add $0.35 (C) each for UPC barcodes.
Production Time: Once a sample is approved, production times are 12-15 business days for domestic orders and 4 weeks for imported orders.

Shipping Fees: If you have your own shipping account with a carrier, we can ship on your account. Simply provide us with your carrier name, account number, and the zip code tied to the account. If you don't have a shipping account, no problem! We will charge you directly for the freight costs based on the ship to address you provide.
Please note that any imported orders will incur an additional $0.85 per item fee to cover international freight charges. This is in addition to the domestic freight costs from our California facility to your final destination.

Woven Sock Info
We do full customization of your sock design. All over images, step and repeat designs, cool skater stripes, multi geometrics, anything you can dream up, we can do. See our gallery of socks at flagpin.com/blogs/news
We can knit socks with up to 6 colors per sock design. Color and detail can affect each other so a lot of detail can limit the amount of color and vice versa. Simple, elegant designs work best, but we can try any design. Socks are designed and knit on a grid pattern which transfers into around 26 dpi. Small text has to be at least 3/16” tall. Straight fonts work best for readability and we try to have at least 2 pixel wide lettering for good visibility. Italicized fonts and fonts with serifs are more difficult and usually have to be a little larger to work well.
