How To Use Our Sock Design Template
Our custom sock design template comes with a step-by-step guide to help you through the process of creating your very own custom sock designs using your resources. Get creative and have fun with it! Our team of professional designers will help work with you to turn your sock ideas into reality with custom socks.
Step 1: Download
The first step is to download our template. To get started, read the file labeled “Design Instructions” as well as the file labeled “Read Me”. Next, you will want to open the file labeled “Design Files”. There you will find a Photoshop file and an Illustrator file. For those familiar with creating bitmaps, we recommend you begin with our Photoshop template. For those who are more familiar with working with vector images, we would recommend working within our Illustrator template. Both templates are set up to the exact size and dimension for our standard one-size-fits-most crew socks. If you are interested in different styles or sizes, reach out to your Account Manager for additional information.
Step 2: Design
Before designing your socks, you will also want to open the provided color palette. The color palette has our most up-to-date yarn colors available in our inventory. Next up is the fun part… designing your sock! Once you've opened either the Photoshop file or the Illustrator file, this is your chance to get creative and have fun with designing your custom socks. Remember, be sure to check out the file labeled “Read Me” if you haven't already for tips and tricks on creating a design that is suitable for knit.
Step 3: Submit
Once you are happy with your designs, please save your files down as either a .pdf or .ai file. Then, click the submit your designs button below. Please note that the design you create is only a basis for your mockup. Our team of professional designers will still need to create a production-ready mockup for your approval before we can submit your sock to our production team.
