Everybody knows flip flops. First worn by ancient Egyptians over six thousand years ago, flip flops are now an international phenomenon and worn and loved by millions worldwide. They come in hundreds of styles and colors but, until recently there was no way for consumers to create their own personalized flip flops.

We’ve changed that. FlipSidez is an American flip flop manufacturer dedicated to creating high quality personalized flip flops.

With our Classic, Premium, Wedge and Slidez style sand imprinting flip flops customers can mix and match as many as 150 colors for the top sole, bottom soles and straps.  Sand imprint designs can include a combination of text and symbols – sure to leave a good impression!  A great way for cause based organizations to get the word out!

Our printed style flip flops are available in many customizable designs or start from scratch and create your own masterpiece.  Our builder design tool let’s you combine your own images or images from our vast library with text and symbols to create one-of-a-kind, comfy, work of art flip flops! Our white damask Bride flip flops for example can be personalized with the bride’s name and wedding date.

With so many design options available, the only question left to ask is: What’s on your FlipSidez??

Customers have the most control over the design that is on the bottom of the soles. As a general rule, the bigger each imprinted character is, the better the imprint it will make upon sand. We have the ability to imprint very small letters on soles, but this does not necessarily mean that you should try to fit an entire paragraph onto your pair. Characters over an inch tall are ideal. If you can use all capital letters, this further improves the imprintability of those letters. To demonstrate this we created two versions of the same bridal design on a pair of US women’s 7.5-9 flip flops. Notice how much better the imprints are for the design which uses fewer characters in all capital letters.

The thickness of the letters themselves also plays a role. As of today we have 3 fonts available for use in our design shop. Of these three fonts, Lintsec and Arial create the best sand imprints. This is because the characters, used for these fonts, have thicker lines. Script fonts, such as our Lucida Handwriting font, are popular for wedding designs and we felt we needed to offer one of these. However, when using a script font it is ideal that you make the characters larger due to the thinness of the lines used for this font. To demonstrate this we created another pair, also size US women’s 7.5-9, that has the same design on each sole, “Which Font?”, but shows the difference between the effectiveness of the fonts when imprinting in sand.

Another factor, which plays a lesser role than design but is important to consider, is the sand. The coarseness, wetness, and even the color, of the sand can influence the imprint. We’ve tested our flip flops on various beaches and found that fine grit sand found on a Caribbean island imprinted much more readily than coarse sand found on the Jersey shore. While the sand found on a Florida beach imprinted well, it was harder to see the imprint since the sand was very white and shadows were less apparent. The wetness of the sand is very important. Imprints made on dry sand will not show up as clearly as imprints made in wet sand. This is because dry sand will crumble. Water is needed to hold the imprinted sand together. You can’t build a sand castle with perfectly dry sand. When you walk down the beach you will find that the clearest imprints occur in the wet band of sand that is lapped by the ocean waves. The closer you get to the water, however, the harder the sand can become. Again, if you have smaller characters in your design, they may not imprint well on this harder very wet and flat sand or even in the dry sand.
We hope this information will help you when designing your flip flops. Remember, when it comes to creating perfect sand imprints, less is more. Use fewer letters so you can make them as big as possible.

The post Designing Your Flip Flops So They Create Great Sand Imprints appeared first on FlipSidez.

The first new style is the Slidez, a customizable slide sandal with adjustable velcro straps. It is great for athletes, that often times want a sandal they can wear with socks, and for people that don’t like the feeling of a strap between their toes. In addition to the velcro straps, the FlipSidez slide also has arch support built into the sole for added comfort. Slidez comes in FlipSidez sizes Small through X-Large, which cover US Women’s 5 through Men’s 13. The color optins include four colors for the sandal upper: Blue, Black, Gray, and Pink, and 12 color options for the bottom sole layer. The shape of this sandals sole is the same as our Premium Sandal style, giving you a lot of room to create your sand imprint design.

The second new style is the FlipSidez Wedge, a customizable wedge flip flop with a 1.75″ heel. We’ve been getting requests for a wedge flip flop for years, we found that no other custom flip-flops manufacturer was offering a custom wedge, and finally caved in to the pressure. The custom Wedge style comes in FlipSidez sizes Small through Med.Large, covering US women’s 5 through 11. Three color options available for the sandal upper: Pink, Black, and White. The bottom sole layer can be imprinted with just about any sand imprint design and there are 12 foam rubber color options available for this bottom sole layer. These custom wedge flip flops are perfect for destination weddings or simply wanting to look more stylish at the beach.

The post Can you imprint my custom logo or art onto my order of flip flops? appeared first on FlipSidez.

However, certain custom options, such as strap printing, require that the size, color, and location of the print design be identical for a certain minimum number of pairs. Contact us if you are interested in custom printing on the straps or the top of the heel.

The post Does my wholesale order need to consist of identical pairs? appeared first on FlipSidez.

However, there is a minimum order quantity of 50 pairs, with the same print design, ink color, and print location, for flip flops with custom strap or heel printing.

The FlipSidez style must be the same for all custom printed pairs as well. But, the order may consist of any combination of flip flop sizes, colors, and sand imprint sole designs designs. For example, we can print your company logo on the flip flop straps for every pair in the order, and then personalize the bottom of each individual pair with the name of a different employees. Pretty cool huh?
