About Ferpar · Since 2009
One Factory in Ningbo.
Plush, Mascots and Inflatables Under One QC File.
Ferpar is not a trading company with a photo library. We cut, embroider, sew, stuff, carve and pack in a single 8,000 sqm plant, with 320 people who have been doing it since 2009. That is why a buyer can order a 6 cm keychain and a 2.2 m mascot on the same purchase order and get one inspection report.

Who we are
A Factory Built Around Sampling, Not Around Catalogue Photos
Ferpar Custom started in 2009 as a 40-machine plush workshop supplying one European importer. The first mascot costume left the building in 2013, and by 2019 the whole operation had moved into the current plant: cutting room, embroidery hall, sewing lines, stuffing, hand-finishing, EVA carving, an inflatable bay and a dedicated sample room on the same floor.
That layout is deliberate. Most quality failures in this industry happen in the gaps between suppliers: a plush body sewn in one town, the eyes embroidered in another, the box printed somewhere else. Keeping every stage under one roof means one pattern file, one colour approval, one QC standard and one person accountable when something drifts.
We work OEM and ODM for brand owners, IP licensors, sports clubs, universities and retail buyers. Some send a finished tech pack. Most send a sketch on a sticky note. Both are normal here.
- No trading layer. You quote with the people who run the line.
- Sample room in-house. Revisions happen in days, not weeks.
- NDA by default. Signed before a single file is opened.
- One QC file. Plush, mascot and packaging inspected together.

Capacity
What 8,000 sqm Actually Produces
These are the numbers we quote in a capacity review. They are monthly, they are averages across a normal mix, and they are the reason a 30,000-piece seasonal order does not push a mascot project off the line.

Figures are the average of the last four quarters. Seasonal peaks are scheduled against confirmed capacity, not against hope.

Compliance
Paperwork That Survives a Customs Check
A test report is only useful if it names your product, your materials and the standard your market enforces. We quote testing as a separate line so you can see exactly what is being covered, and we work with SGS, BV and Intertek for third-party reports.
-
ISO 9001:2015
Quality management system, audited annually. Covers incoming material, in-line checks and final inspection records.
-
EN 71-1 / 2 / 3
EU toy safety: mechanical and physical properties, flammability, and migration of certain elements.
-
ASTM F 963
US toy safety specification, including small parts, sharp edges and heavy-element limits for children's products.
-
CE & REACH
Technical file support, EU declaration of conformity and REACH SVHC statements for fabrics, dyes and inks.
Working with us
What Changes When You Buy Direct
Four things buyers notice in the first two weeks. None of them are about price.
-
01
You talk to the person who will run the job
Every project gets a named engineer and a project code. The engineer who prices your brief is the engineer who answers the sample revision question six weeks later.
-
02
Problems are raised before the invoice, not after
Design review is where we say "this ear will flop" or "this gradient will not hold in plush". It is cheaper to argue with a render than with a container.
-
03
Your files stay yours
NDA signed first, access limited to named staff, patterns and moulds stored under your project code and never reused for another buyer.
-
04
The factory is visitable
Book a visit or a live video walk-through. Third-party inspection is welcome at any stage, and we do not ask you to announce it a month ahead.
