We knit a physical sample in 2–7 days and iterate until you sign it off. You approve yarn, colors, fit and packaging together.

Production, AQL inspection and delivery to your warehouse or 3PL — with every carton labeled to your spec.

Packaging options

Custom private label sock packaging options at Vargel

Packaging sells the first pair; quality sells the second. We offer knitted-in logos plus:

  • Custom woven or printed labels and hang tags
  • Belly bands and wraps with your artwork
  • Gift boxes and multipack sleeves
  • Marketplace-compliant polybags with barcodes (Amazon/FBA-ready)
  • Recycled and plastic-free packaging options

What private label actually means

Private label means the sock is developed for you and made only for you. You own the design, the label, the packaging and the barcode. Nothing on the product, the box or the carton says Vargel. When your customer holds it, it is your product in every sense that matters commercially.

That is different from two things people often confuse it with, and the difference decides how defensible your product is:

We do private label and OEM. We do not do white label, because putting your logo on a sock that four other brands are also selling is not a brand — it is a temporary arbitrage.

What you need to send us

First-time brands often delay because they think they need a full technical pack. They do not. This is the honest minimum:

Required

A sketch or reference photo, the quantity you want, the size range, and your logo as a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF). That is genuinely enough for us to quote and sample.

Helpful, not required

Pantone references, a physical sock you like the feel of, your packaging idea, and your target landed cost per pair. Telling us your target price early saves a sampling round — we will say straight away whether it is reachable.

If you have a full tech pack, send it. If you have a photo on your phone, send that. We have started retail lines from both.

What drives the price

There is no single price per pair, and any factory that quotes one before seeing your spec is guessing. Four things move the number:

Volume then discounts all of it. Relative to a 300-pair run, expect roughly 15–25% lower at 1,000 pairs and 30–40% lower at 5,000. Our instant quote tool applies this to your own spec in about 30 seconds, without you emailing anyone.

Mistakes we watch first-time brands make

Ordering five designs at once

Five designs at 300 pairs is 1,500 pairs of unproven stock. One design at 300 pairs tells you whether people buy it, and the money you did not spend funds the reorder of the one that worked.

Approving a sample after one wear

Sock quality shows on the fifth wash, not the first wear — cuff recovery, pilling and colour hold all reveal themselves there. Wash it five times before you sign off. We would rather lose a week than have you find out at retail.

Designing before knowing the cost

It is painful to fall in love with a five-colour merino jacquard and then discover it cannot hit your retail price. Get the range first, design inside it.

Forgetting packaging minimums

The socks can be made at 300 pairs; a custom printed box usually cannot — printers typically want 500–1,000 units. At small runs, woven labels and belly bands look retail-ready with no meaningful minimum.

Private label questions we get

What is the difference between private label and white label socks?
White label is an existing generic sock with your label added — fast and cheap, but your competitor can buy the identical product. Private label means the design is developed for you and produced only for you. We do private label and OEM, not white label.
Do you charge for the first sample?
No. The first sample is free and takes 2–7 days. Iterations after a design change are also free within reason.
Can I put my own barcode and care labels on?
Yes. Woven or printed labels, care and composition labels in the languages your market requires, EAN or UPC barcodes and retail-ready packaging are all standard. Export documentation is handled here too.
Will you sell my design to anyone else?
No. A private label design belongs to you. We will not offer it, or a recognisable variation of it, to another customer.
What are the payment terms?
40% deposit to start production, balance before shipment. For repeat customers with a history we are more flexible; for a first order this is the standard both sides can live with.
Can you produce for me if I already work with another factory?
Yes, and it is common. Send a physical reference sock and we will reproduce it as an OEM order — same construction, same feel, so your customers notice nothing except the delivery time.
