The Requirement
A German distributor wanted an exclusive seasonal plush collection with original characters for a holiday push. They needed safe materials for the EU market, squeaker options, consistent stitching across twelve designs, and blister packaging ready for retail distribution.
What We Did
- Design development: created twelve original plush characters with agreed sizes, colorways, and fabric selection.
- Safety & construction: specified reinforced seams and secure squeakers, then confirmed EN71 material compliance.
- Sampling: refined stuffing density, embroidery, and squeaker placement across two pre-production rounds.
- Packaging: designed blister and header-card packaging with the distributor's holiday artwork and barcodes.
- Quality control: ran final random inspection against the approved sample and verified EN71 test documentation.
“The original designs and safe construction gave us a range we could sell with confidence across the EU.”

The collection shipped ahead of the holiday season with EN71 documentation for all twelve designs. The distributor sold through the range and commissioned a follow-up seasonal set.
