First-walker and kids' socks with food-grade silicone grips moulded into stars, bears, paw prints or your own character. Compliant documentation for EU and US import, from 100 pairs per size run.
Children's footwear is the most regulated category we make, so we treat the paperwork as part of the product: food-grade, phthalate-free silicone, CPSIA-compliant construction and a test report you can hand to your customs broker or your retail buyer.
The socks themselves are soft combed cotton with a gentle stay-up cuff that does not leave marks on wriggly ankles. Sizes run from 0–6 months through 9–12 years, and you can cover a full age range inside one order.
Every line below is adjustable. If you already have an approved specification, send it and we will produce to that instead.

Food-grade silicone or phthalate-free PVC — both phthalate-free and CPSIA compliant. Test reports and material declarations are supplied with every lot so your import file is complete.
Send a mascot or character drawing and we open a mould for it. Sample of a new shape in 3–7 days; the mould stays yours and is reused on repeat orders.
Soft spandex cuff holds without restricting circulation — the single most common complaint parents raise, and the thing we design against.
Each line is decided before sampling and confirmed on a signed tech pack, so what you approve is what goes into production.
Two ways to work with us, and most buyers use both over time.
You send artwork, size chart and target price. We match it, sample it in 3–7 days and produce under your label.
Pick a base construction from our range and change yarn, colours, grip layout and packaging. Faster and cheaper to launch.
A typical first order takes three to five weeks door to door. Here is where the time goes.
| Minimum order (MOQ) | 100 pairs per style, colour or size run |
|---|---|
| Sampling | 3–7 days after artwork and spec confirmation |
| Bulk lead time | 10–20 days after sample approval |
| Production capacity | 150 knitting machines · 1,000,000 pairs per month |
| Incoterms | EXW · FOB Ningbo / Shanghai · CIF · DDP door-to-door |
| Payment | T/T 30% deposit, 70% before shipment · L/C at sight for larger orders |
| Certifications | OEKO-TEX Standard 100 materials · BSCI audited factory |
These are our standard terms and they are flexible on volume programmes. Final terms are confirmed in writing with your quotation.
Send quantity, material and packaging. A specialist replies with pricing and a sampling plan within 12 working hours.
European and North American buyers are audited on paperwork as much as product. These are the documents we routinely issue.
Knitting, moulding and packing are each checked before the next stage, so defects are caught where they are made.
Finished goods are inspected to AQL 2.5 before packing, or to your own standard if your QC team sets one.
Send SGS, Intertek or Bureau Veritas — or visit us. See the factory →
The questions purchasing teams ask us first. Anything not covered here, ask directly — we answer in plain English.
Yes. The grip compound is food-grade silicone or phthalate-free PVC, and the finished sock is produced to CPSIA requirements for the US and EN 71-3 for the EU. We supply the test reports and a material declaration with each shipment.
Yes — send vector artwork or even a clean drawing and we will open a dedicated mould. There is a one-off tooling charge, the mould is reserved for your brand, and samples follow in 3–7 days.
All six bands from 0–6 months to 9–12 years, mixed inside a single order. The minimum is 100 pairs per size run, so a first order covering all six bands usually totals around 600 pairs.
100 pairs per style, colour or size run. For a first order we can usually split that across a few colourways or sizes, so you can test a range without overstocking.
Yes. Existing stock samples are free — you only cover the courier. A custom sample built to your artwork takes 3–7 days and is charged at cost, then credited against your first bulk order.
10–20 days after sample approval, depending on quantity and finishing. Repeat orders of the same specification run at the shorter end of that range.
Yes. We ship EXW, FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, CIF, or DDP door-to-door by sea, air or rail — with your own forwarder or ours. Transit is typically 30–35 days by sea, 5–7 days by air.
Yes. We sign an NDA before you send artwork, and any mould or screen we make for you is used only for your orders and stored as your property.
Tell us your product, quantity and target market — pricing, MOQ, sampling plan and lead time come back within 12 working hours.
