3.Sampling

Before production, we create a technical sheet that contains are the information to produce the desired socks. Sample pairs are produced and sent to client for quality, size, color, drawings and other elements confirmation. We only start production when the samples are approved. If required we can perform test reports.

Regarding the sampling of socks, we will pay attention to the following aspects:

Serial	Attention	Content
1	Grind the Achilles Tendon	When running, sports socks use Achilles tendon anti-wear pads, which can effectively prevent high-frequency friction between the Achilles tendon and sports shoes.
2	Grind the Soles	For flat feet, small terry tissue is used instead of flat tissue, which increases the cushioning when walking and makes it no longer easy to wear the soles of the feet.
3	Sock Soles Slippery	We add a ring of elastic with appropriate elasticity to the arch of the foot to prevent the socks from slipping when walking or exercising and enhance stability.
4	Easy to Slip Off	The sock cuffs are made of rubber bands with high-quality lifting strength and elasticity, which will prevent them from slipping or pinching your ankles. If it is a single-layer sock, you can apply a layer of non-slip silicone inside the sock opening as needed.
5	Poor Elasticity	Use good quality spandex to enhance the elasticity of the socks.
6	Easy to Break Holes	Sock toes, soles, heels and other areas prone to holes are reinforced with high-quality nylon yarn to enhance firmness.
7	Thick Toe Seams	A sewing worker with more than 10 years of experience will make the sock toe close to seamless if computerized sewing is used; if eye-stitching is used, the sock toe will be smooth and seamless.
8	Seams Open Easily	The use of high-quality nylon yarn as the suture line at the sock toe and ankle seams can increase the firmness of the seams, and at the same time, no tiny openings are missed when the sock toe is sewn.

5.Linking

Toes Linking mainly uses two methods to link the head, such as manual cross-stitching.

» Manual Cross-Stitching: This method uses a round socks machine, and the stitched socks toe coils are sequentially put on the needle of the sewing machine to sew. The socks toe produced has no ribs.

6.Boarding

2	Check the Lengths and Holes of Socks	Lay each sock flat on a measuring board or next to a ruler, in a relaxed position with no stretch or compression, making sure the heel and toe are properly aligned. Pay attention to seams and joins, which are common locations for holes to develop due to stitching failure.
