DESIGN
This is where your vision takes shape. It starts
with sketches, illustrations, or even 3D models
of your desired custom plush toy. Key
considerations at this stage include the overall
shape, size, features (eyes, nose, etc.), and
materials.

PROTOTYPING
Based on your design, the manufacturer creates a
physical prototype. This is a crucial step as it
allows you to see and touch a tangible
representation of your custom plush toy. The
prototype is typically made from readily
available materials and may undergo several
revisions based on your feedback.

SAMPLING
Once the prototype is approved, the manufacturer
creates a sample of a custom plush toy using the
actual materials and techniques that will be used
in mass production. This sample is a near-perfect
representation of the final product and is used
for final approval before production begins.

PRODUCTION
After sample approval, mass production of custom
plush toys begins. It involves cutting fabric,
sewing pieces together, stuffing the plush,
adding details (like embroidery or appliqués),
and performing quality checks.
