Non-slip floor socks for care homes, hospitals and pharmacy retail: non-binding cuff that does not restrict circulation, wide honeycomb tread for tile and laminate, easy-on for limited dexterity.
Designed against the three complaints care staff actually report: socks that cut into the calf, socks that slip on polished floors, and socks that a resident or a carer cannot get on. A loose non-binding top, a broad soft-durometer tread and a generous opening address all three.
We supply care-home groups, distributors and pharmacy chains. Bulk cartons for institutional use or retail pairs with barcode — or both from the same production run.
Every line below is adjustable. If you already have an approved specification, send it and we will produce to that instead.

A loose stretch top that will not restrict circulation — essential for oedema, diabetes and residents wearing socks all day.
A broad footprint in soft-durometer silicone gives stability on tile, laminate and vinyl without feeling like a shoe.
Wide opening and generous calf fit, so residents with limited dexterity — and the carers dressing them — can get them on first time.
Each line is decided before sampling and confirmed on a signed tech pack, so what you approve is what goes into production.
Two ways to work with us, and most buyers use both over time.
You send artwork, size chart and target price. We match it, sample it in 3–7 days and produce under your label.
Pick a base construction from our range and change yarn, colours, grip layout and packaging. Faster and cheaper to launch.
A typical first order takes three to five weeks door to door. Here is where the time goes.
| Minimum order (MOQ) | 100 pairs per style, colour or size run |
|---|---|
| Sampling | 3–7 days after artwork and spec confirmation |
| Bulk lead time | 10–20 days after sample approval |
| Production capacity | 150 knitting machines · 1,000,000 pairs per month |
| Incoterms | EXW · FOB Ningbo / Shanghai · CIF · DDP door-to-door |
| Payment | T/T 30% deposit, 70% before shipment · L/C at sight for larger orders |
| Certifications | OEKO-TEX Standard 100 materials · BSCI audited factory |
These are our standard terms and they are flexible on volume programmes. Final terms are confirmed in writing with your quotation.
Send quantity, material and packaging. A specialist replies with pricing and a sampling plan within 12 working hours.
European and North American buyers are audited on paperwork as much as product. These are the documents we routinely issue.
Knitting, moulding and packing are each checked before the next stage, so defects are caught where they are made.
Finished goods are inspected to AQL 2.5 before packing, or to your own standard if your QC team sets one.
Send SGS, Intertek or Bureau Veritas — or visit us. See the factory →
The questions purchasing teams ask us first. Anything not covered here, ask directly — we answer in plain English.
Yes. The non-binding top is specifically designed not to restrict circulation, and we make a wide-calf and a diabetic-friendly variant with flat toe seams and terry cushioning.
The wide honeycomb tread in soft-durometer silicone is tested for slip resistance on hard indoor surfaces. Ask for the test report and we will send it with your quote.
Yes — both can come off the same production run. Bulk cartons for institutional use and barcoded retail pairs for pharmacy, with your labelling either way.
100 pairs per style, colour or size run. For a first order we can usually split that across a few colourways or sizes, so you can test a range without overstocking.
Yes. Existing stock samples are free — you only cover the courier. A custom sample built to your artwork takes 3–7 days and is charged at cost, then credited against your first bulk order.
10–20 days after sample approval, depending on quantity and finishing. Repeat orders of the same specification run at the shorter end of that range.
Yes. We ship EXW, FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, CIF, or DDP door-to-door by sea, air or rail — with your own forwarder or ours. Transit is typically 30–35 days by sea, 5–7 days by air.
Yes. We sign an NDA before you send artwork, and any mould or screen we make for you is used only for your orders and stored as your property.
Tell us your product, quantity and target market — pricing, MOQ, sampling plan and lead time come back within 12 working hours.
