How do I submit a design?
First, head to our design page, from there you can then choose the style of sock you would like, the length, the base colour (or choose complete custom), choose a background and then finally upload your artwork.
Alternatively you can also send any logos or artwork directly to our address or through a direct message on Instagram. We're here to make the process as convenient as possible for you.
Important: Uploading Images
We highly recommend including images that might support our designers. For example, include any background patterns if you don&#;t wish to use stock patterns and also any images of any kit your team already wears. This will help our designers make sure we put that finishing touch to excellence for you.
Background patterns
In addition to adding your logo or text to the print area, we also have a wide range of background patterns to apply that can really add a special touch to the design and really help make your logo pop and stand out! Don&#;t like any of our stock backgrounds? No worries we can essentially apply any background pattern to your design, if you have one in mind please send the vector file through with all of the other artwork, we can recolour the background to match up with your design if required. If you don't wish to have a background at all, totally fine, we will just match it up to the base colour of the sock.

Where will my design be printed and what colours are available?
You will notice two main areas of our printed socks:
The print area is the rectangular panel between just below the elasticated top band of the sock and stops just above the ankle and this is where your design is printed (sublimated). The best part&#; due to being polyester this area can support unlimited colours! So your design possibilities are endless!
If you want to learn more, please visit our website yipin.
The main section of the sock is referred to as the base. Although customization options for the base area are limited, we do provide a range of preset base colors that can enhance your design. When creating your sock, you'll have the option to select your preferred base colors using the design form. If you have a specific color code in mind for a fully custom design, please let us know, and we'll do our best to match it as closely as possible. Keep in mind that this may potentially extend the completion time for your order.
What can be printed onto the socks?
In short anything! You have pretty much unlimited potential when it comes to the design artwork that is then sublimated onto the sock. Our socks start as pre-knit bases (unless you choose to fully customise your order) The printed designs are then applied to the socks using a Digital Ink printing process (sublimation) which creates a vivid, clear and crisp print onto the design area. There are however a few things to keep in mind:
Why not JPEG or PNG files? We can absolutely work with these file types (and more often than not these are the only files types available to people) but JPEGs or PNG files can be poor raster graphic files which can lead to rough edges, blurry images and distortion which leads to a subpar quality image once printed onto the sock.
We wish to provide you with nothing but the best quality image so keep this in mind when sending across your artwork, this way, we can guarantee the colours match, the design will be clear and crisp, and there will be no distortion to the logo.
Where are the designs printed on different styles?
All of our sublimated Premium, Classic and Business socks all feature a printing area that is 3.5 by 4.5 inches tall (this can be extended to 3.5 x 6.5 inches tall on full crew styles). The only acceptation to this design area is the full sub sock which is an all over print design. The rest of the sock is a pre-knit base and cannot be altered. The design areas are made from polyester and is the space we apply our digital ink printing.
If you require any clarification or would like any examples we would be happy to send over example images.
Embroidered Designs
The whole of our embroidered range starts off as a premium base without the design print panel, the embroidered design is then applied to the sock. As a guide, dimensions for embroidered logos are 1 x 1 inch (25.4mm x 25.4mm) max for square logos, and 2 x 2 inch (50.8mm x 50.8mm) max for circle logos.
Please note: No more than eight colours can be applied to each design.
We can send socks to many places in the world, and most of our customers will receive socks after 5 days of shipping time. Due to some special reasons, our socks cannot be delivered in some countries. If you need to confirm this, please contact us. Usually we have two socks shipping methods:
Customers can specify transportation methods and freight forwarders. For urgent orders, we can adjust our factory order schedule so that socks can be produced in time.
