CUSTOM PLUSH TOYS

Custom plush toys,from artwork to production.

For brands, IP owners, importers, cross-border sellers and corporate buyers. We review shape, size, materials and craft first, then use the sample to resolve proportion, hand feel and production consistency.

DIRECT ANSWER

How does artwork become a production-ready plush toy?

A two-dimensional design must be translated into patterns, volume, fabrics, embroidery, filling and assembly. Yiliuba supports project review, material suggestions, pattern making, embroidery, first sampling, revisions, pre-production confirmation, bulk production and packing checks.

PROJECT REVIEW

Four questions to resolve before sampling

Clarifying the variables that affect appearance, cost and timing reduces avoidable revision rounds.

01

Character proportion

Define front, side and back silhouettes and the facial, outfit and accessory details that must remain recognizable.

02

Material and hand feel

Match fabric, filling and trims to target price, size, use and destination market.

03

Craft execution

Assess embroidery, print, panels, 3D parts and small accessories for production and durability.

04

Production consistency

Consider sewing paths, tolerance, shaping and inspection while the sample is being developed.

MOQ EXPLAINED

Why is the typical MOQ 500–1,000 pieces?

It is not a fixed threshold for every product. It is the typical range at which most custom projects can reasonably absorb their setup costs.

MOQ follows the product plan, not the total quantity alone.

Fabric and trim sourcing, pattern making, embroidery programming, cutting and line setup, packing preparation and quality checks all create work before bulk production begins. Exact MOQ depends on size, materials, craft, style count, quantity per style, packing and order terms.

01

Size and construction

Dimensions, panel count and 3D structures affect material use and production time.

02

Fabric and trims

Special colors, pile lengths, filling and accessories may each have sourcing minimums.

03

Style allocation

At the same total volume, many small runs require more setup than one concentrated style.

04

Craft and packing

Embroidery, print, outfits, hang cards and boxes add separate preparation steps.

You can still send a project below the typical range. We can assess whether fewer styles, shared materials, a size adjustment or simpler packing could improve feasibility, without promising a lower MOQ before review.

SAMPLING TERMS

When does sampling start, and how are fees and revisions approved?

Before sampling, we align the artwork version, dimensions, material direction, key craft, color reference, accessories, packing goal and the person responsible for feedback.

Starting pointAfter key information is clear

A typical first sample takes about seven days. Complex construction, special materials or parallel styles are assessed separately.

Sample feeFrom RMB 500

The actual fee reflects size, construction, fabric, embroidery, accessories and sample quantity. Sample freight is confirmed separately.

Revision policyUp to three free revisions

Further revisions are RMB 100 each unless the written quotation states otherwise.

Order creditPart may be credited after ordering

The amount or percentage must be stated in writing.

  1. 01

    Lock the version

    Confirm artwork, size, materials, colors, craft and protected features.

  2. 02

    Sample and review

    Record each version, date, photos or video, consolidated feedback and next action.

  3. 03

    Approve in writing

    Bulk-production preparation starts only after written approval of the final sample.

EXPORT & CONFIDENTIALITY

How are testing needs handled for the U.S., Japan and South Korea?

Before quotation, specify the destination, intended age, use, material construction, accessories, labels, packing and buyer requirements. Applicable standards, laboratory, test samples, cost and timing are confirmed in writing for each project.

United States

Projects commonly review ASTM F963, 16 CFR Part 1250 and applicable lead, phthalate, small-parts and tracking-label rules. Applicable products for children 12 and under generally involve testing by a CPSC-accepted laboratory and a CPC.

Japan

First determine whether the product is a designated toy under the Food Sanitation Act and review relevant material requirements. Buyer- or channel-requested ST Standard or ST Mark needs are confirmed separately.

South Korea

Projects commonly review the Special Act on the Safety of Children's Products, the Common Safety Standard for Children's Products and the Toy Safety Standard to determine testing and Safety Confirmation needs.

Requirements can change with product construction, age grading and sales channel. The importer, brand owner and appropriately qualified third party should confirm the final clauses, certificate holder and compliance responsibility.

HOW IT WORKS

A clear path from quote to delivery

Every stage depends on confirmed information. Complex structures, special materials and multi-accessory projects are scheduled separately.

  1. 01

    Project review

    Confirm artwork, size, quantity, destination market and target delivery.

  2. 02

    Materials and quote

    Break down the construction and propose material and cost options.

  3. 03

    Pattern and sample

    Create patterns, embroidery and the first physical prototype.

  4. 04

    Revision and approval

    Adjust proportion, structure, color, hand feel and accessories.

  5. 05

    Bulk production

    Schedule after the sample, materials, packing and QC requirements are approved.

  6. 06

    QC and delivery

    Complete product, needle and packing checks before shipment.

PROJECT BRIEF

What to include in a quote request

The more complete the brief, the more accurate the construction review, quote and schedule. Existing artwork is enough for an initial review.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask first

These are general references. Materials, price, MOQ and timing are confirmed for each project.

01Can you review a single front-view drawing?

Yes, for an initial assessment. Side, back, color and construction references are usually needed before an accurate sample can be completed.

02Can I approve a prototype before placing the bulk order?

Yes. The prototype confirms appearance, materials and craft before quantity, packing and the production schedule are finalized.

03Why can the same design receive different quotes?

Size, fabric, embroidery area, accessory count, packing, order volume and inspection requirements all affect cost.

04Can you protect an unreleased character design?

Yes. An NDA can be signed before development, and artwork, samples and project information can be limited to project use.
