Resources
Everything a sock buyer needs before they commit
Sales tools, buying guides and reference material — written by the people who quote the orders, not by a marketing department. No gated downloads, no email wall.

How these resources are written
No email wall
Nothing on this site is gated. You do not have to trade your address for a size chart — the guides are here to be read and used, whether or not you ever order from us.
Written by the people who quote
The MOQ, cost and lead time figures are the figures our sales team actually works with, not aspirational marketing numbers.
Dated and maintained
Every guide carries an update date. Where a number is an indicative range rather than a fixed price we say so plainly.
Anonymised case studies included
Where a buyer prefers anonymity we keep their name out and publish the numbers anyway — an anonymised real program is more useful than a named one that says nothing.
Frequently asked questions
What is your MOQ?
500 pairs per design & colourway for knitted styles and 1,000 pairs for sublimation-printed styles. Mixed sizes count towards the same design. Volume basics such as a combed cotton everyday crew sit at 3,000 pairs per colour because the price point needs a longer run.
How fast are samples and what do they cost?
Pre-production samples ship 7–10 days after tech-pack approval, by express, with a spec sheet. The sample fee is quoted per style and refunded in full once the bulk order is placed. Revisions are free until you approve the sample.
What do you need from me to start?
Vector artwork (AI, PDF or EPS) works best, with Pantone codes for exact colour matching. Plus target quantity, delivery market and target price if you have one. A reference photo or a sketch is enough to open the conversation — roughly 70% of our buyers start without a tech pack.
Do you own the factory that produces our order?
No — and we are deliberately clear about it. SOXMILL is the brand and the sourcing entity of Beijing Haifu Supply Chain Co., Ltd. Production runs through a network of partner mills in China that we audit and qualify before a single order is placed. We hold the specification, the QC chain, the documentation and the commercial responsibility. That is the part most buyers actually care about: somebody accountable when something goes wrong.
Which trade terms can you work on?
FOB Ningbo / Shanghai · CIF · DDP to your warehouse. Our documentation team prepares CO, Form E and market-specific certificates. Around 60% of our programs ship FOB; Gulf buyers often take DDP.
Can you handle packaging, labels and barcodes?
Yes. Printed belly bands, hangtags, header cards, hook boxes, gift boxes and multi-language inserts, plus GS1 barcode and SKU management for retail and Amazon. Packaging is quoted as a separate line so you can see exactly what it costs.
Read it, then ask us the hard questions.
If a number here does not match what another supplier told you, ask us about it. We would rather explain the difference than let it stand.
