🧦 1. Understand the Sock Material & Printing

  • Fabric blend: 58% recycled polyester, 22% nylon, 15% cotton, 4% spandex, 1% rubber .

  • Printing process: Digital, 360° coverage, water-based ink penetrating fibres—no white ink—so designs must account for stretch and ink bleed .

2. Use the Sock Template for Seamless Designs

  • Download the official PSD/JPG template. It shows two sides for a sock pair, separated by seam guidelines .

  • Treat each sock half separately: align art across the seam lines ("A to A", "B to B") for wrap-around continuity .

  • Want a seamless full-wrap? Place your pattern across the “TOP” and continue across seam lines—if it doesn’t match, either leave margin or fully align .

3. Design Tips: Graphics, Colors & Fonts

Works well:

  • Bold, bright full-color graphics covering the entire sock .

  • Strong lines—avoid ultra-fine details that can disappear in the knit or stretch .

Avoid:

  • Thin, light-colored lines on dark backgrounds—­they get lost .

  • Floating designs on white backgrounds—un-balanced and less visually appealing .

Font usage:

  • Light backgrounds: Regular font at ≥85 pt.

  • Dark/bright backgrounds: Bold font at ≥125 pt.

  • Cursive fonts ok for style only—but can impair readability .

Handling white areas:

  • White is the sock base—not printed ink. Large white areas are better; small white outlines on dark backgrounds will likely blur .

4. Extra Tips for Crisp, Wearable Designs

  • Apply a consistent background color across the entire sock to improve sharpness .

  • Expect colors to stretch/warp when worn—test-wear or visualise on the foot .

  • After uploading, review your design in Redbubble’s preview tool to ensure each sock lines up and looks great .
