Starting a new project and capturing the target market’s attention is never easy, especially for some clients who don’t have a background in stuffed toy development and importing. Because this industry is highly subjective and mainly hand-made. The supplier’s manufacturing capacity and experience determine whether the design can be reasonably restored. In this article, we’d like to share with your the main factors that affect our offer.
Point 1, Design team’s transformation capabilities
Did you know that more than 70% of Guangdong’s exports to the European and American markets are produced in Dongguan, and almost 80% of the production is concentrated in the small town of Chashan. However, in a place with such rich production experience, designers who can act independently are still VERY VERY scarce, and even nearly half of the factories do not have dedicated designers. As a manufacturer that has specialized in customizing and exporting plush toys for years, we know that the design department directly determines the success or failure result of product creation, and even affects the manufacturing operations and budget control. At PLUSHTOYSMFG, our sample fee quotation range is $120 – $250. It was also to encounter clients who said that other suppliers can make $80, or even $50 to $60, The problem is that the labor cost difference between designers can be as high as 4 times, and different plushie factories have their own standards on details transforming. Below are examples we are sure you will understand the “difference” we talked.
Point 2, Professionalism of the team
At PLUSHTOYSMFG, our sales team members all have more than five years of toy export experience and are familiar with plush toy fabrics, workmanship, inspection standards, and safety regulations for target regions. We understand the difficulties of overseas sourcing, especially the challenges posed by time differences and languages. By choosing to work with us, clients will understand our commitment to the delivery standard and turn their unique designs into wonderful plush stuffed animals in a fast and professional way.

Point 3, Production standards
“Good quality, sustainability, safety” is the basic but top essential principle for us to run the business, NOT just a slogan here. Over these years, we’ve committed to constantly improving our production process to achieve this mission:
1. In addition to incoming material inspection, two fabric vendors we currently working with are both GRS certified. At one of them, the dyeing of each vat of fabric can almost reach “no color difference”. Such a high standard can surpass more than 90% of our domestic suppliers.
2. For Every custom plushes order, whether the quantity is 500 or 50,000, we have the same production standard here. Each making step has dedicated people to conduct a full inspection, and each batch of custom-made soft toys needs to pass the corresponding tensile testing and sampling inspection before shipment.
From the initial bulk order confirmed to the final shipment, there are dedicated QC, sales, and shipping merchandise to assist. Our service will be until you receive all the goods safely. If it is DDP trade terms, our shipping agency will handle the customs clearance, and submit the paperwork for you.
As a standardized plush toy manufacturer, when making a quote, except for raw materials, we also need to consider labor and operation costs. Compared with the family workshop model, our prices may not be that low, but if you are looking for a long-term partner with independent design capabilities and qualified to produce your customized stuffed toys, then PLUSHTOYSMFG has the full ability and confidence to provide the support.
