Fabric selection and toy design
Safety: All fabrics used for plush toys must meet international safety standards such as EN71 (European toy safety standard) and ASTM F963 (American toy safety standard).
Comfort: Make sure the touch of the fabric is suitable for the target user.
Breathability: The fabric should have good breathability to prevent moisture inside the toy.
Durability: The fabric is durable and its performance after multiple washings ensures that it does not deform or fade.
Environmental protection: Choose renewable and degradable fabrics and obtain OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification.
Practical suggestions
Toy types and fabric selection
·Baby toys: It is recommended to use soft and natural fabrics such as cotton and modal.
·Pet toys: It is recommended to use durable and easy-to-clean fabrics such as polyester and nylon.
·Collectibles: It is recommended to use high-grade fabrics with good touch, such as wool.
Quality control
·Supply chain management: Strictly control raw material suppliers to ensure stable fabric quality.
·Production process: Optimize the production process to ensure the quality of each process.
