The short answer: around €6.95 per pair at wholesale, excluding VAT, with a minimum order of 50 pairs. The recommended retail price is €19.95, and at 21% VAT you keep around €9.54 per pair. VAT, and so the exact margin, varies by country.

If you're comparing suppliers, quality comes first and price second. On quality, here's what you get: a mid-rise sock with a non-slip sole, materials tested to REACH (the EU standard) right down to the grip sole, and your logo woven or embroidered into the sock, never printed. That leaves the price, and whether anything is charged on top. You'll find both answers here, with a full worked example of a minimum order of 50 pairs, so you can work out your investment and your margin before you ask for a quote.
Personalising grip socks with your studio's logo costs around €6.95 per pair at wholesale, excluding VAT, with a minimum order of 50 pairs. The recommended retail price is €19.95 per pair, including VAT. At €19.95, once you deduct VAT (21% in this example) and your cost, you keep around €9.54 per pair: a margin of about 58% on your net sales. VAT, and so the exact margin, varies by country: it's 20% in the UK and 23% in Ireland, for example. The mockup with your logo is free and arrives within 24 hours, shipping is free across Europe, and nothing goes into production until you've approved it. You'll find the exact figure in the quote that comes with your mockup.
The price per pair covers the sock itself (a mid-rise design with a non-slip sole, in materials tested to REACH, the EU standard, grip sole included), your logo woven into the sock or embroidered, never printed, and an exact match of your brand colour to its Pantone code.
What costs nothing extra: the mockup with your logo (free, within 24 hours), any revisions until you approve it, and shipping across Europe, including the UK (for UK orders, import VAT and duties may apply). There's no design fee and no charge for preparing your logo.
The €6.95 per pair is an approximate figure. The exact price depends on how many pairs you order and on whether you choose a woven or an embroidered logo, and it's confirmed in the quote that comes with your mockup. The quote carries no commitment, so you can request one simply to compare.
An indicative example, based on a cost of €6.95 per pair, VAT at 21% and the recommended retail price of €19.95. VAT differs by country (20% in the UK, 23% in Ireland), so your margin will too, and your quote may vary slightly.
| Item | Sold at €19.95 |
|---|---|
| Sale price to your clients (incl. VAT) | €19.95 |
| VAT payable (21%) | €3.46 |
| Net price (excl. VAT) | €16.49 |
| Cost (wholesale, excl. VAT) | €6.95 |
| Your margin per pair | €9.54 (58%) |
| Item | Sold at €19.95 |
|---|---|
| Cost of 50 pairs (excl. VAT) | €347.50 |
| Sales from 50 pairs (incl. VAT) | €997.50 |
| VAT payable (21%) | €173.12 |
| Net sales (excl. VAT) | €824.38 |
| Your margin on 50 pairs | €476.88 |
| Mockup, revisions and shipping | €0 |
In other words, a minimum order of 50 pairs means an investment of around €347.50 excluding VAT. Sell the whole batch and you recover that investment and make around €477 in margin on top. If you'd rather give some pairs away (as a welcome gift for new clients, for example), each one costs you around €6.95.
The direct margin is only the first of three. The second is acquisition: 85% of people remember the brand of a product they've worn, so every sock with your logo is advertising that walks around on its own, without a euro spent on ads (source: ASI Global Advertising Impressions Study, 2026). The third is retention: increasing client retention by just 5% can raise profits by up to 95%, and a consistent brand, inside and outside the studio, is part of why people stay (source: Bain & Company / Harvard Business Review).
Not personalising them has a cost too. A studio that's perfect in every other way but uses generic merchandise isn't seen as ‘almost perfect’; it's seen as careless. A single weak detail carries that much weight.
