Can I get a sample to show around to buyers?
|
 |
Yes. Once all the details of your idea are conveyed we will design and manufacture a one of a kind prototype that you can show buyers.

How do I protect my idea?
|
|
The first step to protecting your idea, is ensuring that the manufacturer you work with signs a NDA ( Non Disclosure Agreement ) This means that we cannot reproduce your product without your permission. We have built our company over the last 15 years on the fact that we only manufacture goods for you. We have no interest in stealing ideas, and we insist that it is in writing. Contact us for an NDA.

How much does my idea cost to produce?
|
|
Keep in mind that in developing your unique product, there are many choices that can affect the final price. Therefore it is helpful if you have a budget in mind that we can use as a starting point. There are a few distinct factors that influence the price. These are:
Quantity - In general, the more you order the less you pay per piece. This has to do with not only materials, but also the labour involved to manufacture your custom plush toy.
Size - Common sizes that we use now are 6” for beanie type toys, 8"-12" for smaller stuffed toys, and 12" and above for everything else. A bigger toy does not just mean more material. The greater size adds to labor and shipping costs as well.
Quality - We can choose from many different qualities of plush and materials, all ranging greatly in price.
Detail - A greater level of intricacy adds to the cost. A fully featured grizzly bear will cost more than a square bean bag plush bear.

|
|
What is your minimum order?
|
|
Orders of less that 1,000 pieces are generally not cost-effective. Orders above 1500 pieces are more economical per piece.
|
|
|
|
Is your first price quote the final price?
|
|
Our first price quote is an estimate based on the limited information that you provided on your initial quote form. Although we have spent many years working in the plush industry and can usually get close with our first quote, every project is slightly different. Therefore the final price may be higher or lower then the original quote. However your price will be final before we start production and there will not be any surprise charges to worry about. |
|
|
|
How long does it take to get my product?
|
|
60-75 days after the prototype is approved. Usually the biggest factor in completing a project is how well information and details are communicated between us. The typical steps and duration are:
• Prototype Stage - 30 days
• Production Stage/Overseas Shipping - 60-75 days
• Delivery ( local shipping ) - 5 to 10 days
|
|
|
|
How much is shipping?
|
|
Your quote will included shipping to your final address, unless otherwise agreed.
|
|
|
|
Will my toys be safe?
|
|
Yes. We have been designing and manufacturing toys for over 15 years. All of our toys meet or exceed all required ASTM and EN71 standards. We pride ourselves on our 100% safety record, high level of customer service and our exceptional quality. |
|
|
|
Can I have my company name or logo on my custom plush?
|
|
Yes. We can personalize your custom plush in a variety of different ways, including silk screening on a t-shirt or other apparel item or a direct embroidery on the plush toy itself. We can also provide your own hang tags, and personalizing your sewn in labels. All of these details will be discussed during the prototype stage.
|
|
|

|
What if I have special packing needs?
