Aren't all of our products custom-made?


Yes, but lets talk about the difference between a custom-branded product and a custom-built (or manufactured) product.

What makes a product custom "branded" and what makes one custom "built"

Custom-branded

branded as colour socks
Products that need smaller quantities and quick turnaround, while still achieving a professional, high-quality branded finish through screen print, embroidery, or heat transfers.
In-house branded products can be turned around quickly, typically within 7–10 working days, and have lower minimums (starting from 24 units on most items).
These projects require more planning and commitment to volume and timelines, but you’ll have dedicated account management and design support to guide you through every stage, from concept to delivery.

Custom-built

print room socks NZ
Larger volume orders where complete design control is important.
Custom-built products have higher minimums and longer lead times, typically ranging from 6–12 weeks depending on the product and shipping method.
While you gain full control over fit, fabric, colours, trims, and finishing details, these projects require more planning and commitment to volume and timelines.
