Everything buyers
ask us first.

Fabric close-ups, a short buying guide, what each market asks for, and the questions that come up in almost every first call.

Fabric library

Plush fabrics, up close

Pile height and density change how a plush feels in the hand — and what it costs to ship.

Buying guide

What to send, and what comes back

  1. 01

    Send the brief

    Artwork or a reference photo, the size you want, the market it will be sold in, and a rough quantity.

  2. 02

    Read the quotation

    It comes with a fabric proposal, the MOQ for that design, and a sampling plan — ask us to price two fabrics if you are undecided.

  3. 03

    Approve the sample

    You get photos from every side before it ships. Comments on the photos are fine; we revise and re-shoot.

  4. 04

    Sign off production

    The approved sample stays at the head of the line. Test reports and carton labels are prepared with the run.

Compliance by market

Which rules apply where

The headline standards buyers ask us about. Scope depends on the product and the age grade, so treat this as a starting point, not advice.

  • EN 71

    European Union

    Mechanical and physical properties, flammability, and migration of certain elements. CE marking required.

  • ASTM F963 · CPSIA

    United States

    Toy safety standard plus lead and phthalate limits, with tracking labels on the product and packaging.

  • CCC

    Mainland China

    Compulsory certification for certain toy categories sold on the domestic market.

  • Market-specific

    Japan & others

    Requirements differ by category and retailer; we confirm the test list before sampling.

We arrange testing with third-party labs and send the reports with the goods. Confirm the exact scope with us before printing any claim on packaging.

FAQ

Questions from the first call

If yours is not here, ask — we answer within one working day.

Do you work from a drawing, or do I need a 3D file?

A drawing is enough. A character sheet, a photo of a sample, or even a sketch gives our pattern room something to work from. 3D files help on complex shapes but are never required.

What is the minimum order?

It depends on the design, the fabric and the packaging — a simple keychain and a 40 cm figure sit far apart. Send the brief and the MOQ comes back with the quotation.

How long does a sample take?

Sampling time depends on the fabric and how many revisions we go through. We confirm the schedule with the quote, and we tell you early if a launch date is at risk.

Which safety tests do I need?

It depends on the market and the age grade. The EU asks for EN 71, the US for ASTM F963 and CPSIA, mainland China for CCC on some categories. We will tell you what applies and arrange testing.

Can you print or embroider our logo?

Yes — embroidery, woven labels, hang tags, printed belly bands and gift boxes. For toys under three we keep to embroidered details.

Will our character be sold to anyone else?

No. Client designs are made for that client only; they never go into our own collection and we do not resell them.

Still deciding?

Send the brief anyway — we will tell you what is realistic before you commit.
