What is the MOQ for custom socks?
MOQ depends on yarn, construction, packaging, variation count, and destination. Pilot or smaller sample-stage programs may be possible, but bulk production is scoped after the commercial brief is reviewed.
How is lead time quoted?
Lead time varies by sample approval, yarn availability, quantity, packaging, and destination. The first production reply should separate sample, approval, bulk, packing, and shipment stages instead of using vague timing language.
Does SaySock support retail-ready packaging?
Yes. Branded labels, wraps, sleeves, cartons, and other pack-out options can be reviewed as part of the same production conversation so the sock and its packaging stay aligned.
Can a buyer request pricing before final artwork is ready?
Yes. A first price review can start from the product family, quantity band, target market, material direction, packaging expectation, destination, timing, and open artwork status. Final artwork can follow when it affects sampling or production detail.
Why does SaySock not publish one fixed custom sock price?
Custom sock pricing changes with construction, quantity band, colorway count, material, packaging, sample path, destination, documentation, and timing. SaySock uses those inputs to review the quote path instead of promising a universal per-pair price.
How should a buyer compare SaySock with low-MOQ China-direct sock factories?
Use the comparison to separate price from operating risk. Low-MOQ or price-first offers may be useful for some programs, but the RFQ should still state product family, quantity band, colorway count, packaging tier, sample requirement, destination, timing, and documentation needs so sample ownership, QC, pack-out, and shipment assumptions do not disappear from the first reply.
Who is the best fit for a production review?
The best fit is a buyer who already knows the target market, quantity band, approximate timing, and whether packaging, compliance, or destination requirements need to be part of the quote path.
