Brand Toys

Yes, for rights holders and their appointed licensees. We have produced within licensed programmes before and are familiar with working to a licensor style guide and the extra approval round it brings.

We will ask to see the licence or written authorisation before quoting. A supplier who skips that step is exposing you as much as themselves, since unlicensed goods get seized at customs and pulled from retail regardless of who manufactured them.

We match Pantone references in fabric and confirm the match physically at sample stage rather than promising it on paper.

One honest limit: pile fabric does not hit a Pantone target the way flat printed material does. Pile length and fibre both change how a colour reads under different light, and a long pile always looks slightly deeper than the same dye on a short pile. If a colour is central to your brand, tell us early and we will trial it on the actual pile you plan to use.

Yes, and it makes the job considerably easier. Send the full document rather than extracts, including logo placement rules, proportion guidance, approved colourways and anything covering merchandise specifically.

Where a guideline does not translate cleanly to plush, we raise it before sampling. Brand books are usually written for print and digital, and some rules simply cannot be reproduced on a curved stuffed surface. Better to agree the adaptation up front than to discover it at approval.

Yes. Woven labels, printed care labels, hangtags, header cards, barcodes, retail polybags with safety warnings, gift boxes and custom carton marking are all produced to your specification.

Send your retailer compliance sheet early. Packaging artwork routinely takes longer to approve than the toy itself, and it is the single most common reason an otherwise finished order sits waiting in our warehouse.

It depends entirely on your side and, on licensed work, on the licensor. That step sits outside our control, which is why we schedule it separately rather than folding it into the production lead time.

Plan for it honestly. A brand programme where approval takes three weeks and production takes 30 working days is a very different calendar from one where approval happens in two days. If you have a fixed launch date, tell us the date first and we will work backwards.

Not without written permission. Client artwork, patterns and samples are not shown to other buyers, and we do not publish images of a client product unless you have agreed to it.

We are happy to sign a non disclosure agreement before you send anything. Send your own document if you have one and we will review and return it.

Yes, and ranges are a large share of what we do. Multi SKU programmes usually share construction methods while differing in size, colourway or accessory.

Bear in mind that each variant carries its own pattern set and material run, so a five SKU range is not simply one order divided by five. Tell us the full range at quotation stage and we can often reduce cost by sharing pattern work across SKUs.

Yes, and this is where owning the factory matters most. We retain the master pattern and the approved reference sample, and we track dye lots, so a repeat run can be matched physically against the original rather than rebuilt from a photograph.

Expect a very slight dye lot variation on fabric ordered months apart. It is normal across the industry. Where colour consistency is critical across waves, tell us up front and we can reserve fabric for the whole programme at the start.

It depends on where you sell. Goods entering the United States are checked against ASTM F963, goods entering the European Union against EN71 and REACH with CE marking applied. All our production also meets the GB6675 Chinese national standard.

Retailers frequently require independent verification on top of that. We work with several third party inspection agencies and can arrange lab testing where your buyer asks for a certificate in their own name.

We accept bank transfer (T/T) only, structured as a 30 percent deposit with the 70 percent balance paid before shipment.

EXW, FOB, CIF and DAP pricing are all available, so you can choose whichever incoterm fits how your freight is already organised. If you have a nominated forwarder we will work with them directly.
