Socks for Germany

Germany is not named on this site, but the term Western Europe is, and an order to Germany sits inside that term. What follows is the part that is genuinely specific — the clock a German order runs on and the sizing it is knitted to — followed by the part that would be invention.

Computerised sock knitting machines in rows on the production floor

The clock starts on this floor. A German buyer usually asks the same first question as a Dutch or Italian one: what date can the goods be on my dock. That answer is built from four published windows, and none of them is shortened by the destination.

Four things a German order is knitted against

Sizing, colour booking, case pack and the two audits. Each is published, and each is what a German retail or pharmacy buyer will ask about before a first order.

The size grid
The size grid What to check: EU and US scales are printed beside the centimetre band as a mapping onto it, not as the measure the floor works from. Send the band you sell and the sample is knitted to it.
The dye lot
The dye lot What to check: colour count is quoted per style, and the lot record ties a shipment to your order number. Ask for it with the proforma invoice.
The case pack
The case pack What to check: 100 pairs to a carton is our arithmetic; your DC’s receiving rules decide the real one, confirmed per style on the proforma invoice.
The two audit files
The two audit files What to check: BSCI 26-0419962, valid until 14 Aug 2027, and SEDEX ZAA600215648, audited 12–13 Aug 2026. Both name this address, and both are audited against formats accepted for EU destinations.

What this page will not claim about Germany

Germany is inside a term we publish and outside everything else we publish. The distinction matters, so it gets its own block rather than a footnote.

Inside our market term

Our published market list names Western Europe. Germany sits inside that term, which is the only reason a German order is describable as a market we serve.

The clock is published, and it is short

Costing back within one working day, sampling 3–5 days after brief and artwork, bulk 20–30 days after deposit and an approved sample. Working hours are Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00 China Standard Time (UTC+8).

No German-language version of this site

This site is published in English. There is no German edition, no German-language documents and no German-speaking desk. That is a real limit for a German buyer and it is stated rather than glossed.

What we do not have

No German entity, no German warehouse, no named German customers and no German certification held in addition to the two audits. If your file needs a German reference, we cannot supply one.

The order clock, stage by stage

Four windows, all published, all counted from a different starting point. Most date slippage on a German order comes from confusing which one has started.

Send the band you sell and the date you need

German sizing is a centimetre band question, not a letter-size question. Send the band your range uses and the date the goods have to be on your dock, and the reply can say which of the four windows governs your calendar.

  • Within one working dayReply to an enquiry, Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00 China Standard Time (UTC+8).
  • 1,000 pairs per styleThe bulk minimum, counted per style rather than on the order total.
  • 3–5 daysSampling, after the brief and the artwork are confirmed.
  • 20–30 daysBulk, after the deposit is received and the sample is approved.
