CUSTOM CHARACTER MERCHANDISE

Your character already works on your packaging, in your campaigns and as a plush toy. We take it further with PVC keychains, figurines, drawstring bags, towels and more, all made to your brand book and approved before production.

Your character, beyond plush.

One character, on everything your customers keep

Most of our clients start with a plush toy. When they want more, we put the same character on keychains, textile and print, with the same colours, the same brand book and the same approval process. For brands, theme parks, zoos, museums and cruise lines, and since 1998 for clients such as Bellewaerde, Jungle City and De Warmste Week.

Merchandise is often what visitors use every day or take home as a memory: a towel at the pool, a keychain on a school bag, a souvenir from the park, the museum shop or the onboard shop. That’s why it has to look exactly like your character, and keep looking that way after every wash and every reorder.

What quantities do you work with?

For most merchandise, we produce from 500 pieces. The exact minimum depends on the product, the size and the finish. Tell us about your project and we’ll let you know straight away what’s possible.

Can you match the colours of our plush toy?

Yes. We work with the Pantone references from your brand book, so your character looks the same on every product.

Which materials and techniques do you use?

Keychains and figurines in soft PVC, vinyl or metal. Towels in cotton, recycled cotton or microfibre; socks in knitted jacquard; bags in polyester, rPET or cotton canvas. Puzzles and books on FSC®-certified board and paper. We advise the right material for how your product will be used.

How long does it take?

You’ll receive a proposal within 48 hours. Once you’ve placed your order, your sample gets priority and is ready for approval in 10–14 days. After approval, production takes about 45–60 days, excluding transport.

Are the products safe for children?

Products that count as toys, such as puzzles and keychains for children, are tested to EN 71 and carry the CE marking. Other merchandise, such as towels, bags and socks, meets the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). You receive the documentation with your order.

Do you supply theme parks, zoos, museums and cruise lines?

Yes. We produce plush toys and matching merchandise for visitor attractions and cruise lines, from giveaways to souvenirs for the shop. Products are packed and labelled for retail, and we can store stock in Belgium and deliver within Europe when you need it.

Can we order merchandise without a plush toy?

Yes. Many clients start with a plush toy, but you can also order merchandise on its own, as long as you have a character with a brand book or style guide.
