Manufactoring process
How does it work?
We manage the entire process from design to delivery in 6 effective steps
Each step has its dedicated systems & processes for brand, quality and compliance adherence
1. Yarn Twisting
Twisting is a very essential process in the production of yarn. It prepares the yarn for our production. Twist is inserted to the yarn to hold the constituent fibres together, thus giving enough strength to the yarn, and also producing a continuous length of yarn. The twist in the yarn has a two-fold effect; firstly the twist increases cohesion between the fibres by increasing the lateral pressure in the yarn, thus giving enough strength to the yarn. Secondly, twist increases the helical angle of fibres and prevents the ability to apply the maximum fibre strength to the yarn. The continuous filament yarn also requires a small amount of twist in order to avoid the fraying of filaments and to increase abrasion resistance. Yarns used for soft-surfaced fabrics have less twist than those used for smooth-surfaced fabrics. Yarns made into crepe fabrics have maximum twist.
2. Knitting
After twisting the yarn, the yarn is ready to go to the production department. Here hundreds of machines are running 24/7 to produce our invisible socks. We make our patented invisible socks on circular knitting machines. In this process we create an invisible sock in a couple minutes on every machine. All our machines are computerized. We can produce every invisible sock. Our patented invisible socks with comfort band come ‘ready to dye’ from the machines. Straight after production, our Classic invisible socks go to our Confection department, before dyeing.
3. Dyeing
Our factory also has her own dye house. We can dye our invisible socks, of all different compositions, in all colours. We have our standard colours, but can also develop new colours for customers. Every sock with a different composition, is different in dyeing. Therefore every colour on every invisible sock, has its own dyeing recipe. Dying is a complex and chemical process, and needs to be done very carefully. At our factory, the waste water after dying will be recycled in our own water purification system.
4. Silicone
In all invisible socks it’s possible to put silicone in the comfort band of the socks, or add a silicone oval in the heel. Silicone in the comfort band of the socks is a patented technology. The silicone is placed at the pressure point of the invisible sock, the comfort band. This is an extra prevention for slipping-off.
5. Packaging
We deliver our invisible socks unpacked, in bulk, but it’s also possible to deliver our invisible socks packed in the packaging our customer requires. The packing of our products takes place at our own packing department. Beside packing by hand, we also have a packingmachine. This is a fast and secure way of packing. Due our packing service, we can deliver a total and 'ready to send' product. Invisible socks in a packaging, including hook, stickers or polybags, anything you require, in export cartons ready to distribute. We can deliver the invisible socks in many different packaging styles. It doesn't matter whether you want to use your own private label, or a complete new lay-out for the packaging. Our own design team is ready to give the right advise. Good design distinguishes the product – good design reinforces your brand’s USP but better design invigorates your brand. Our products are environmental friendly. They are also totally free of chemical substances and heavy metals. We produce with the best standard materials, from leading European producers on the wide printing market.
6. Distribution
We offer various options for delivery of your orders worldwide. With our inhouse logistics experts, we can arrange deliveries anywhere in the world. This includes the total package of customs processes, paperwork as also the physical distribution. We fully customize the logistics, distribution and freight service, according to your business requirements. We can smooth the way and assume responsibility for the whole process.
