CUSTOM PLUSH TOYS DESIGN ON A DIME

SIMPLER SHAPES AND DESIGNS
Complex shapes with many curves, intricate
details, or multiple separate parts require more
intricate pattern-making, cutting, and sewing,
which increases labor and production time. Opting
for simpler, more geometric shapes like circles,
squares, and triangles, or designs with fewer
curves and details, significantly reduces the
manufacturing complexity and cost of custom plush
toys.

LIMITED COLOR PALETTES
Each color in your custom plush toy design
requires a separate thread and a change in the
sewing or embroidery machines. It adds to
production time and cost. Limiting your color
palette to 2-3 core colors is a highly effective
way to reduce expenses. You can still create
visual interest by using different shades or
tones of the same color, or by strategically
using contrasting colors for accents.

STRATEGIC LOGO PLACEMENT
While a large, all-over logo might seem
impactful, it's often the most expensive option.
Instead, consider the strategic placement of a
smaller, simpler logo in a prominent yet
cost-effective location for custom plush toys.
