What this reference shows, and what you would decide.

What the build has to support

Custom fabric
Fabric choice covers pile, backing, colourfastness and hand feel. Approve a lab dip and a pile sample against the artwork rather than a screen, and confirm one mill can hold the shade across the whole order.
Character design
Character work is proportion, face placement and expression, and all three read differently in fabric than they do on screen. Budget a sculpt review, because the face is the part a buyer rejects first.

Decisions this product type puts in front of you

  • Materials Pile height, backing weight and fill density set both the look and the price. Ask for a fabric card, approve a lab dip against your artwork, and remember that a long pile hides seams and swallows embroidered detail.
  • Face and features Embroidery, appliqué, print and heat transfer each hold detail differently on a raised pile. Choose per feature rather than per product, and decide whether eyes are embroidered or moulded before the age grade is fixed.
  • Safety and certification Age grade drives the eye and nose method, the seam strength target and which small parts rule applies. Confirm the destination market before the pattern is cut, since the test list is not the same everywhere.
  • Tooling and quantity A plush is cut and sewn, so setup sits in pattern making and sampling rather than steel. Quantity mostly moves fabric buying and line time, which is why a second colourway costs far less than a second sculpt.
  • Packaging Plush ships compressed or uncompressed and the choice changes carton count, freight and how the product looks when the box is opened. Decide the recovery time you are willing to accept.
