Pricing Factors

What Moves the Per-Unit Price

Six variables that affect your quote. Small changes in the brief can move the price 20–50% either way.

Size

15 cm chibi vs 80 cm large — material cost scales roughly with surface area.

Material

Standard short plush is cheapest. Minky, crystal velvet, and organic cotton cost more.

Complexity

Embroidery detail, separate accessories, multiple colours — each adds minutes per unit.

Quantity

Per-unit drops ~30% from 500 to 1K, another ~25% from 1K to 5K.

Packaging

Polybag standard. Custom gift boxes, slipcases, and barcoded retail packs are add-ons.

Shipping mode

Air (fast, expensive) vs sea (slow, cheap). Small orders ship DHL/FedEx express.
