When you purchased the bespoke soft toys, do you find the company logo or facial expression of your designs mostly by embroidery or printing? These 3 processes were very common and cover almost all the needs of soft plush doll production, but the most important is to choose the right one based on the actual designs.
Embroidery
Embroidery was widely used in some small-size positions of stuffed toys, like the eyes or nose of mascot soft toys. Furthermore, for some designs that required the eyes can express emotions, the embroidering way is the top pick, currently, there is no other workmanship that can reach these dimensional and vivid effects as the embroidery. 90% of custom plushie projects need “embroidery” to achieve “better similarity”.
Meanwhile, for some plush teddy bears, you could consider embroidering your company logo on the feet to replace the T-shirt to save the budget.
Heat-transfer printing
Heat transfer was more suitable for large-area pattern printing, it works by machine roller compressing the patterns on the fabrics under high temperatures. The finished effect was great, and most important without color restrictions and causing creases. For plush pillows and blankets these types of products, thermal transfer works better than embroidery.
Silk Print
Silk printing has a protruding feeling when touching it, suitable for tiny logo printing and small patterns but in many colors, usually used in small-area printings of plush toys. Lower cost and strong coverage. However, in the production of plush toys in recent years, because of the environment and safety, the silk screen printing process was used relatively less.
