Custom Sock & Stocking for the European Market in Recycled Polyester (rPET) with Hangtag and Packaging for European Corporate Uniforms

Custom Sock & Stocking for the European Market — Recycled Polyester (rPET) with Hangtag and Packaging

We supply sock & stocking to European buyers built for alpine conditions with rapid weather swings. Cloth weight, fibre composition and finish are specified for the season and the standard before price: Recycled Polyester (rPET) at 220-260 gsm, with restricted-substance screening and documentation prepared for the destination market. Programmes start at 300 pieces per style per colour and ship to Gothenburg or Aarhus.

European programmes fail on paperwork more often than on product: minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb, and unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. We fix the specification first — fabric weight, shrinkage, stitch density and measurement tolerance — then prepare Nordic Swan Ecolabel alongside REACH substance control so the goods clear customs and pass buyer audit without a second round of testing.

How we produce it

1. Tech pack review and fabric confirmation for alpine conditions with rapid weather swings
2. Restricted-substance screening against REACH, then lab dips for approval
3. Recycled Polyester (rPET)-spec prototype graded to EU 34-52
4. Fit sample and wearer test, then a pre-production sample
5. Bulk cutting with hangtag and packaging applied under controlled settings
6. In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 inspection and packing to EU carton specification

Sustainability and documentation

European buyers are asked for evidence, not assurances. We can supply EN 343 weather protection documentation, recycled-content claims with transaction certificates where the fibre qualifies, and test reports from accredited labs. Fibre composition, care symbols and country of origin are printed in the languages your market requires, and the technical file is held for reorders.

Delivery, duty and VAT

Shipments move to Gothenburg or Aarhus under EXW, FOB, CIF or DDP. For EU and UK destinations we quote landed cost including duty and import VAT, and provide the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance. Reorders draw on the approved specification held on file, which keeps sock & stocking batches consistent across seasons.

FAQ

Do you provide compliance documents?

We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for EN 343 weather protection, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.

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.
