Who do you work for?

For brands and organisations with a character that has its own brand book or style guide, and that use it in shops, theme parks, campaigns or events. That’s where our experience since 1998 makes the difference.

Will the plush toy really look like our character?

Yes. We work with the colours, shape and details from your brand guide. You approve a sample first, and production is exactly like that approved sample.

What do you need from us to start?

Your brand book or style guide with your character, and where you plan to sell or use the plush toys. The more views and colour codes you send, the more precise the result.

How long does it take?

You’ll receive a proposal within 48 hours. After sample approval, production takes about 45-60 days depending on the quantities, excluding transport. Planning an event or campaign? Tell us your date at the start, so we can plan with you.

Can you make mascot costumes and merchandise too?

Yes, and that’s exactly our strength: your character looks the same on everything, whether it’s a plush toy, a mascot costume or merchandise.

What if we reorder later?

You’ll get exactly the same plush toy as the first time. We keep all specifications, and production runs through our own partner factories, where we manage the entire chain ourselves.

What quantities do you work with?

Custom plush starts at 1,000 pieces per character for a plush toy of 30 cm. The smaller the plush, the larger the minimum: keychains in top quality with all the details start at 3,000 pieces.

For other sizes, the minimum depends on your character, the details, the materials and the colours. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll confirm what is possible.

Are the plush toys safe for children?

Yes. Our plush toys are tested to EN 71 and follow the GPSR, and our packaging follows the EU packaging rules (PPWR). Safety is part of our production process from the start, not a check afterwards.

How long do your plush toys last?

A plush toy should last for years. We choose materials that stand up to intensive use and washing, and we pay attention to the finish, the seams and the filling. On request, we work with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified materials.

Who follows up our project?

You have one dedicated contact in Belgium, from your first question to delivery. We handle development, production, certification, storage and shipping.

Can we get a sample before we order?

Yes. We make a paid development sample, ready for approval in 20-30 days. If you place your order, 50% of the sample cost is deducted from it.

Within an order, the production sample gets priority and is ready in 10-14 days.

Why aren’t you the cheapest?

Price matters, so we tell you upfront what is included: sample development, material selection, colour matching to your brand book, production follow-up, safety testing and delivery. That way you compare the full process and the result, not just a unit price.

We are not the cheapest supplier. We are the partner for brands that want their character to be right, in the first delivery and in every reorder.
