Custom Plush Quality Control
Compare bulk goods with the approved sample and confirmed product, label, and packaging requirements before shipment.
- ✓ Bulk checked against the approved sample
- ✓ Seams, decoration, filling, and accessories
- ✓ Needle and packing checks when required
QC Starts with an Approved Standard
Compare: Fabric direction, size tolerance, seams, embroidery edges, filling balance, threads, labels, and packing.
During production: Check bulk goods against the approved sample before shipment.
Limit: In-house QC is not a safety certificate. Regulated markets or age groups may still require third-party testing and compliance documents.
View Factory AreasWhat We Check Before Shipment
Use defined checkpoints to compare bulk production with the approved sample before packing.
Shape
Check: Outline, expression, balance, ears, arms, legs, tail, and accessories.
Size
Check: Finished size, proportion, and visible tolerance issues.
Fabric
Check: Material, color, pile direction, texture, surface, and fabric match.
Seams
Check: Stitch consistency, closure, seam allowance, and weak points.
Embroidery
Check: Edges, loose threads, position, color, density, and readability.
Filling
Check: PP cotton amount, rebound, softness, symmetry, and firmness.
Accessories
Check: Placement and attachment of ears, tails, bows, clothing, loops, eyes, hardware, and add-ons.
Labels and Packing
Check: Labels, tags, barcodes, SKUs, bags, boxes, cartons, marks, and compression.
Check Shape, Size, and Natural Tolerance
Recognition: Mascots, characters, teddy bears, and dolls may need exact facial proportions, ears, arms, body shape, or clothing fit.
Standard: Compare with the approved sample. Soft products have small natural tolerances; keep bulk production within the approved visual and size range.
- Overall body shape and face symmetry
- Ear, arm, leg, and tail position
- Standing or sitting balance when relevant
- Finished size compared with the approved sample
- Obvious deformation after packing or compression
Check Seams and Small Attachments
Focus: Curved seams, small parts, clothing, attached accessories, and complex body shapes.
Small parts: Pay extra attention to connection areas.
Check Embroidery and Logos
Used for: Eyes, mouths, expressions, badges, logos, and brand marks—especially on character and mascot plush.
- Edge cleanliness and loose embroidery threads
- Thread color match and logo readability
- Position against the approved sample
- Density, thickness, and alignment on curved fabric
Buyer provides: Usable logo files, color references, and placement notes before sampling.
Check Filling, Accessories, Labels, and Packing
Confirm hand feel, attachment, labeling, packing, and conditional needle inspection.
Filling Rebound and Hand Feel
Check: PP cotton amount, balance, rebound, firmness, and hand feel against the sample.
Accessory Attachment Checks
Check: Placement and attachment of ears, tails, bows, clothing, straps, loops, hardware, eyes, and accessories.
Label and Packaging Checks
Confirm: Artwork, placement, tags, barcodes, bag size, required warnings, box fit, carton marks, and compression.
Needle Inspection
When required: Use needle inspection to control broken-fragment risk before packing.
In-House QC Does Not Replace Testing
In-house: Check workmanship, order consistency, labels, and packaging.
Third-party: Testing depends on product type, target age, materials, accessories, destination, and sales channel. Confirm required reports and document scope per project.
