Sock Wall vs Folded Table in Small Apparel Shops
Loose pairs on a table are not a department. Peg the packs. One fold after decompression, or none.
Sock wall vs folded table in small apparel shops is packs on peg versus a campaign fold — tickets still first. Independent retailers in Thailand dump loose pairs on a table because the wall was already hangrail. The shops that still count SKUs keep packs on peg or a lipped shelf and use one table for a weekly fold, not the department.
Sock and underwear wall is the parent wall. Display tables vs walls is the split. Dump bins are clearance, not the sock table. Price tickets still come first.
What each is for
Wall. Peg or lipped shelf, labelled packs, remaining walk after hook length — pegboard, aisle width, slatwall shelf depth. Size run on the wall, not on the table.
Table. One campaign fold after decompression if leftover floor exists — nested tables, island vs perimeter. Locks if it rolls. Not every colourway as a pile.
Neither in the first two metres. Layout. Impulse at the wrap is one tray of last-minute packs, not a second sock table on packing.
T-shirts: graphic on a fold is a different story. Socks are counted packs. Do not mix them as one dump.
Kids: child reaches the sample, adult paying reaches the pack. Do not drop the whole table to child height and kill the wall.
When wall vs table
| Job | Peg / shelf wall | Fold table |
|---|---|---|
| Counted packs | Strong | Weak — uncounted pile |
| Weekly campaign | — | One table if walk remains |
| 40 sqm | Must work | Often skip |
| Clearance | Not the wall | Dump bin, not merch table |
Common mistakes
- Loose pairs as the sock department.
- Table in the door.
- Unpriced packs on peg.
- Hangrail of socks mixed with tees.
What belongs on the quotation
- Wall: peg vs shelf — named.
- Table count — usually zero or one.
- Tickets on packs.
- Remaining walk after table and hooks.
- Language of the document, Thai or English.
Send shop type and whether socks are packs or loose. That is enough to specify a counted wall instead of a fold dump.
Packs on the wall, one fold if the walk remains
If you are merchandising socks in a small apparel shop in Thailand, start with peg or a lipped shelf. Send the shop type, the size, and the opening month through the fixture plan form. We will return one fixture schedule and one written quotation — Thai or English — covering the sock wall, the table if any, and the walk.
Common questions
- Can the sock department live on a table?
- No as the whole run. Packs on the wall. One table is campaign fold only.
- Loose pairs in a dump bin?
- That is clearance, not merchandising. Labelled packs on peg or shelf.
- Mix socks on the same hangrail as tees?
- Specify a split. A mixed rail hides sizes.
- Do sock packs still need tickets?
- Yes. Unpriced facing is not merchandising.
