Sock & Stocking Customization Program for Theater and Performance with Flat Embroidery

Sock & Stocking Solution for Theater and Performance

This programme covers the full path from a sock & stocking concept to a repeatable bulk supply for theater and performance. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the cloth, the fit block, the decoration method and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.

The most common failure we see in theater and performance sourcing is not price — it is drift. Fabric changes supplier, the shade moves, sizing shifts half a grade and the programme quietly stops looking like the brand. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.

Recommended fabrics

• Flannel — chosen when the garment needs to hold shape after repeated laundering
• Flame-Retardant Fabric — chosen when the garment needs to hold shape after repeated laundering
• Georgette — best balance of comfort, cost and wash stability
• Recycled Cotton — best balance of comfort, cost and wash stability

Decoration and finishing

The default method for this programme is Flat Embroidery, but we routinely combine processes on one garment. Placement, colour count and position drives cost more than the garment itself, so we quote decoration separately and show you the trade-off before sampling.

• Rhinestone Application
• Puff Printing
• Laser Cutting
• Ribbed Cuff and Hem
• Reflective Printing
• Applique Embroidery

FAQ

What is the minimum order quantity?

Standard programmes start at 300 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.

How is shipping handled?

We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.

What file formats do you need for artwork?

Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.

Can you match a specific colour?

Yes. Send us a Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch. We return lab dips for approval and hold bulk shade within the agreed tolerance band before cutting.
