Customized bulk plushies indeed were the perfect products for brand promotion and marketing, not only because of their soft and ability to quickly build “emotional connections with customers” advantages but also because they are suitable for any industry and purpose. The question is, what kind of soft toys can count as high-quality or even reach the collectible plush standard?
Stuffed Toys Materials.
In the handmade bespoke plush toys industry, in addition to the labor cost accounting for the majority, the fabric is also a major factor affecting the price. Some soft toy manufacturers choose to use stock fabrics to replace and save money. Normally fabrics in stock over 6 months have very obvious quality issues for the crease and moist smell. Mostly the appearance will change also.
A good batch of stuffed toys, after a series of processing, cleaning, and inspection. cleaning, and inspection. Any color fading, dirt, or hair loss was totally not allowed. And for mascot stuffed animal designs manufacturing, the direction of the fur on the hands and legs must be the same.
Soft Toys Sewing & Stitching.
The stitching process plays a decisive role in the quality and safety of bulk plushies production. Stitching/sewing firmness determines if the mascot plush toys are safe to pass the stretching tests and if qualified to import or not.
For most bulk stuffed toys manufacturing, we required the sewing seam should not be less than 3/16” in size and per inch, the size distance must not be less than 9 stitches. Missing and skipping stitches are absolutely unacceptable.
Plush Toys Embroidery.
The embroidery process was very commonly used in plushes toys’ patterns and logo making. The threads of embroidering should be dense enough, otherwise, there will be voids and the edges will look like “leakage”.
Appropriate labeling & instruction.
Did your soft toys manufacturer require some information should be shown on the sewed-in label and retail tag? For example, if your plush toy is aimed to export to the US market, the factory’s PA number and name, address, and CPSIA mark. Furthermore, if the packaging for your toys was in regular opp bags, please make sure all the bags with air holes and warning words to avoid suffocation risks.
