Blank Polyester Socks are one of the core products of Ningbo Colorido's digital printing business — a Socks-category consumable specifically designed for digital printing (sublimation and 360° digital printing). Made of an 85% polyester blend with a blank unprinted surface, they can be directly loaded onto Ningbo Colorido sock printers for custom pattern, logo and text printing.
This series is an Athletic Crew Socks style, available in seven Heel & Toe color schemes — Black, Blue, Dark Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow and Stripe — meeting diverse customer personalization needs. Two models are offered: a pure white model for white/light/colorful designs, and a white-with-interior-black-elastic model for dark designs (especially solid black) to prevent white show-through when stretched.

Polyester socks go through sublimation heat transfer and curing during digital printing, which causes slight shrinkage. The comparison below helps with production planning, artwork layout and finished-product quality control.
Reference dimensions of the blank polyester sock before it goes through the sublimation printing workflow — the baseline for artwork layout and production planning.
After sublimation heat transfer and curing, the polyester sock shrinks slightly. Use these finished dimensions for quality control and accurate sizing of the end product.
| Dimension | Before Printing | After Printing | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cuff width (sock opening) | 9 cm | 8.5 cm | −0.5 cm |
| Sock length (opening to heel) | 22 cm | 20 cm | −2 cm |
| Bottom length (heel to toe) | 21 cm | 18 cm | −3 cm |
Note
Sizes are reference values measured on a flat sample. Actual dimensions may vary slightly due to material elasticity, sublimation temperature and curing conditions. Allow for roughly 5–6% longitudinal shrinkage when scaling artwork for the digital printing workflow.
Owner · PrintSock Studio, USA
We switched our entire polyester line to Ningbo Colorido socks this year. The 85% polyester blend holds sublimation ink beautifully — colors come out vivid and wash-resistant after dozens of cycles. The seven heel and toe colors let us offer more SKUs without changing our printing setup.
Product Manager · CalcioSport Brand, Italy
As a sports brand, we need low MOQs for team custom orders. Ningbo Colorido blank polyester socks start at 100 pairs per design per size, and the athletic crew fit is comfortable for match day. The dark model with interior black elastic solved our solid-black show-through problem completely.
Founder · SockCanvas India
We run a sublimation sock printing business and tested five blank sock suppliers before settling on Ningbo Colorido. Their 85% polyester blend produces the sharpest, most color-accurate prints we have seen, and the fabric stays breathable after curing. Sample lead time of 3 to 5 days keeps our pipeline moving.
E-commerce Director · SockDrop UK
Selling custom printed socks online means we need consistent sizing across batches. The S, M and L size references from Ningbo Colorido — with before and after printing dimensions — make production planning predictable. Returns due to sizing issues dropped by over 60 percent since we switched.
Factory Manager · Tabi Print Works, Japan
We run Ningbo Colorido CO80-210PRO sock printers alongside their blank polyester socks, and the combination is seamless. The 360 degree seamless digital printing wraps around the crew sock with no visible seam, and the boneless stitching means no deformation after repeated washing. Delivery of 1000 pairs in 8 days is reliable for our monthly orders.
