Step-by-Step Custom Plush Toy Process
Step 1: Share Your Concept or Design
To get started, simply share your idea with us. You can provide:
- A sketch, reference image, or drawing
- 2D or 3D artwork
- Toy size, shape, and features
- Preferred materials or accessories
- Budget or target price
- Any logo, branding, or packaging requests
If you don’t have a finalized design, our team can help develop it for you.
Step 2: Fabric Selection Before Sampling (Rigid Sourcing Exclusive Process)
Before we create your first sample, we take special care in selecting the right fabrics for your plush toy. Here’s how our fabric selection process works:
🔍 Fabric Matching & Confirmation:
- Based on your design or reference, we source and collect a range of suitable fabrics from trusted suppliers;
- Once we receive these fabrics, our merchandiser team organizes the materials into a detailed fabric chart, which includes:
- Fabric name and type (e.g., short plush, velboa, faux rabbit fur, crystal fabric)
- High-resolution photos of each fabric sample
- Description of texture and softness
- Available colors
- This fabric chart is then shared with you for selection and confirmation.
This step is critical—it allows you to choose the exact fabric that matches your vision before any sample is made, giving you full control over the final product look and feel.
Step 3: Sample Development
Once you approve the fabric, we move forward with the prototype:
- Our factory will produce the first physical sample in about 7–14 days, based on your confirmed materials and design;
- We will send you photos and/or ship the sample to you for review;
- If changes are needed, we will remake the sample until you are 100% satisfied.
Pro Tip: The final approved sample will serve as the golden reference for mass production to ensure consistency.
Step 4: Product Safety & Compliance
All our plush toys can meet international safety standards depending on your market:
- USA: CPSIA, ASTM F963
- Europe: EN71, CE
- Other regions: We can support REACH, ISO, MSDS, and more
We cooperate with third-party testing labs like SGS, Intertek, and BV to ensure your products are fully compliant and safe for children.
Step 5: Custom Labeling & Packaging
We support complete private label and retail packaging solutions:
- Woven labels, care labels, logo embroidery
- Custom hangtags and insert cards
- Polybags, display boxes, or sustainable packaging
- Barcode stickers or Amazon-ready prep
Your brand identity will be professionally presented on every toy.
Step 6: Mass Production
Once the sample is approved and the order is confirmed, we proceed with bulk manufacturing:
- Lead time usually ranges from 25–45 days, depending on order size and toy complexity
- We provide real-time updates and photos from the production line
- Each toy goes through strict QC inspections before shipment
Our factories follow AQL standards to ensure every piece meets your expectations.
