We understand the importance of being a Sock Manufacturer
Socks are not a luxury, they are a necessity.
As a sock supplier, Vinuchi is all too aware of the responsibility associated with being a sock manufacturer.
The importance of ensuring that the sock manufacturer produces excellent quality socks that fit well and wear well is paramount.
The consistency of the socks must be monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that each pair of socks made by a sock manufacturer is the same as the last.
The worst thing that can happen when buying a few pairs of socks is to find that one pair fits differently to another pair.
When this happens, one must question the quality control processes of the sock manufacturer.
It's comparable to a clothing manufacturer producing garments with one sleeve longer than the other.
It is imperative as a sock manufacturer that in this area, utmost consistency is achieved on an ongoing basis without slipups.
If this does happen, you have lost a customer which may not necessarily be the wearer of the sock but probably more so, the seller of the sock as they know from where the sock originated.
The next most important factor that a sock manufacturer must take into account is yarn.
For a sock to be breathable, it needs to contain cotton.
The sock manufacturer needs to ensure that the percentage split of cotton to any other product within the sock is high enough to allow the sock to breathe when worn.
A good sock manufacturer will generally try to ensure that the cotton content within a sock is close to 80% plus.
Elastane and polyester is then also usually used by the sock manufacturer to ensure stretch and allow a comfortable fit.
The sock manufacturer also uses these materials to ensure the sock stays on and up.
Another important aspect that needs to be taken into account by the sock manufacturer is weight and thickness of the sock.
Please note that my reference to cotton does not apply the the sock manufacturer that for example works only with Mohair as the process of sock manufacture is not necessarily the same and the end goal is certainly not the same on most cases.
It is important as the sock manufacturer to ensure that the sock is thick enough to provide protection but light enough to enable the wearer to be comfortable.
Thickness relates directly to weight in most cases, so the sock manufacturer is always aware that the sock should not be too light or too heavy aswell as too thick and too thin.
Design also.plays an important factor these days and the sock manufacturer needs to be constantly aware of the fact that buyers of sock want designs that are pleasurable to wear.
Sock manufacturers in many cases, pride themselves in being right up there when it comes to boldness of design or colour.
Design is an extremely important part of the sock manufacturers function because as we all know, the packaging sells the product.
In this case, as far as the sock manufacturer is concerned, the packaging is represented by the design of the actual sock in most cases.
