Why sample first

Four reasons not to skip the sample

A sample catches problems before they’re replicated 500 times over.

See it before you scale it

What looks right in a render can feel off in fabric. Touch the material, check the face, weigh the stuffing.

Lock the price

Once you sign off, the per-unit bulk price is locked in writing — no “oh, the fabric got pricier” surprises.

De-risk the timeline

Revisions during prototyping cost hours. Revisions after bulk cost weeks. We front-load the hard decisions.

Test us before you trust us

It’s a $150–$200 question: can this factory actually deliver? The sample is the cheapest audit you’ll ever run.

Sample FAQ

Common questions about sampling

Is the sample fee refundable?

It’s not refundable as cash, but it’s credited against your first bulk invoice if you proceed to production. If you decide not to proceed, you keep the sample — no strings attached.

What if I need the sample in a specific size?

Standard sample sizes (15–25 cm) are included in the $150–$200 base. Custom sizes or oversize plush (50 cm+) carry a small upcharge — your PM confirms before we start.

Can I order multiple sample sizes at once?

Yes — additional sample sizes/variants are $80 each on top of the base fee. Useful for A/B testing proportions before bulk commitment.

How long does a sample actually take?

Standard 14-day turnaround from payment to shipped. Complex designs (intricate accessories, multiple materials) can add 3–5 days — PM confirms upfront.

What file formats do you accept for the reference?

Anything visual — phone photo of a sketch, PNG/JPG/PDF digital art, 3D renders, or even screenshots. Lower quality is fine; we work with what you have.

Do you do one-off plush for personal gifts?

Yes — single-unit orders (kids’ drawing plush, pet memorial, personal gift) are welcome. Pricing is the same $150–$200 starting range with potential add-ons for complexity.

What happens if I’m not happy with the final sample?

Use your 3 revision rounds — that’s what they’re for. If after 3 rounds we still haven’t landed it, we usually give you a 4th round on us rather than leave a customer unsatisfied.
