More than a timeline

Behind every production process is a structured path that ensures creativity, compliance and reliability.

The result: projects — from plush toys to mascot costumes and merchandise — that are not only compliant and sustainable, but also delivered exactly as briefed.

What we offer

WHAT SETS US APART

Step by Step Production Process

Every project follows a structured path. While plush toys are our core business, the same rigorous process applies to mascot costumes and merchandise, with adjustments for each product type.

Step 1 – From briefing to project start (1–3 days)

  • Plush: goal, audience, quantity, character or brand assets
  • Mascot: usage (events), ergonomics, ventilation, visibility
  • Merchandise: product type (keychains, puzzles, textiles), volumes, packaging

Design & Prototype at Progimpex

Step 2 – Design & development

  • Plush: sketch & prototype (or direct development for an existing character)
  • Mascot costume: 3D design and fit development (theme-park quality)
  • Merchandise: design translated into product forms (keychains, figurines, textiles, puzzles…)

Step 3 – Feedback & approval (5–7 days)

  • Refine the design or prototype together until every detail is correct
  • After your approval, production starts

Step 4 – Production & safety

  • Plush toys: 45–60 days, with CE/EN-71 testing
  • Mascot costumes: ±30 days, flame-retardant materials and ergonomic finishing
  • Merchandise: depends on product type, average 25–45 days

Step 5 – Logistics, distribution & storage

  • Progimpex manages the full supply chain: transport, EU customs clearance and delivery
  • Sea freight: 30–40 days
  • Air freight: 7–10 days
  • Optional: storage & distribution from Belgium for fast dispatch
