The paper studies the factorization and summing properties of the Sobolev embedding operator. We propose two different approaches. One shows that the Sobolev embedding operator $S:W^{ 1,1}(\mathbb{ T}^2)\hookrightarrow L_2(\mathbb{ T}^2)$ factorises through the identical embedding $\ell_\Phi\hookrightarrow\ell_2$ for some Young function with Matuszewska-Orlicz index 1. Proof of this fact is based on two results of independent interest. First, a necessary and sufficient conditions on a Young function $\Phi$ and weight $\Psi$ for boundedness of the embedding of the Sobolev space $W^{ 1,1}(\mathbb{ T}^2)$ into Besov-Orlicz space $B^\Psi_{ \Phi,1}(\mathbb{ T}^2)$. Second, a generalization of the Marcinkiewicz sampling theorem to the context of Orlicz spaces. Another approach is based on the extrapolation of $(p,1)$-summing norm.
