CUSTOM PLUSH TOYS FOR BRANDS

We are a Belgian family business and we have been making plush toys for brands since 1998. Most of our clients come to us with a character they already love. Our job is to make a plush toy that looks exactly like it.

For brands with a character

Made for brands that put their character to work

When you send us your brand book, we look at your character the way you do. Is the smile right? Are the colours the same as on your packaging? Does it still look like your character from the side and from the back? A drawing is flat and a plush toy is not, so we adjust the pattern until it is right. You see the sample and tell us what you think. We only start production when you are happy with it.

Brands like Persil, KBC, De Warmste Week, De Nationale Loterij and Bellewaerde have trusted us with their characters.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions brands ask us most. Don’t see yours? Send it to us and we’ll answer within 48 hours.

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.

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. Read what determines the price.

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?

We are not the cheapest, and we don’t try to be. Our price includes the sample, the materials, matching your colours, following up production, safety testing and delivery. We would rather make a plush toy you are proud of.

 

Ready to take your character further?

Send us your brand book or style guide and tell us where your character will be sold or used. You’ll get a tailored proposal within 48 hours.
