Custom Plush Doll Factory: OEM Character Plush Toys Under Strict NDA

The character sheet is the contract. We lock head-to-body ratio, eye spacing, marking placement and colour codes before modelling, then return a 3D render on day 3 from front, side and back with the sheet overlaid — you approve geometry before anything is cut. Two structural revisions are included at sampling; beyond that we are re-patterning, and we quote that at cost instead of hiding it in the unit price.

Most drift happens because the sheet shows one expression. Send the neutral pose and a profile view as well, and the first sample lands much closer.

Mutual NDA is signed before we open a single file, and we can work to a licensor's style guide with the approval loop built into the schedule. Files sit on an isolated project drive with named access, sample photos are watermarked, and nothing appears on our site or social channels without written release. On request we delete working files at project close and confirm in writing.

For unreleased IP we also ship in unmarked cartons with a generic invoice description — a small detail that has saved more than one client a leak.

About 0.8 mm of stitch width at 1:1. Below that the needle cannot lay a clean satin column and the line reads as fuzz. On a 20 cm doll the face is roughly 55 mm wide, so a 12 mm eye has room for a pupil and one highlight, not three. Where art needs more we change technique: print or sublimation on a woven patch for gradients, appliqué for large flat shapes.

Nine to twelve thread colours per head is the practical ceiling before changeover cost climbs. You see a digitised preview before the first stitch is laid.

Rooted hair gives a real part line but sheds, and a retail shelf is exactly where that shows. Above 30 cm we recommend a sewn wig on a fitted cap: it holds volume, tolerates repeated brushing and can be restyled. Flocking suits short, tight styles.

Whichever you choose, we add a comb-through and shed check at QC and specify surface-clean only — a rooted doll that goes through a machine comes out bald. Hair direction is set on the pattern so the fringe falls correctly on both sides.
