Custom blind box plush development from artwork to retail packaging
Toy Gift Supply supports original and authorized character projects for custom plush blind box programs. We review character artwork, size, materials, embroidery, accessories, series consistency, individual mystery packaging and display cartons. Standard MOQ is 500 pieces per design; multi-character series are reviewed by design.
Blind box plush manufacturing built around a complete series
A blind box program is not one plush toy placed inside a box. It needs a repeatable character system, controlled differences between designs, a clear assortment plan and packaging that protects the product while keeping the contents hidden.
Send a series brief, not only one character image
The factory needs enough information to review pattern reuse, design differences, packaging size and the order structure across the full collection.
- Character artwork and number of designs
- Target size and quantity per design
- Regular and rare assortment direction
- Market, target age and packaging request
Series architecture and manufacturability
Character families are easier to control when they share a base proportion, compatible materials and a consistent embroidery language. Differences can then come from color, facial details, ears, accessories, clothing or other approved features without making every design a completely unrelated construction.
Small character plush packed in sealed individual boxes for retail counters, e-commerce launches and collectible programs.
Compact hanging plush with attachment hardware, concealed in a printed bag or box for impulse purchase.
A coordinated group of characters or colorways developed for a campaign, holiday or limited retail period.

Regular, rare and assortment planning
Buyers should define the number of regular designs, whether a rare or secret direction is needed, and how the assortment will be packed. The final ratio must be practical for production, carton packing, warehouse handling and any buyer disclosure rules in the destination market.
| Decision | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Number of designs | Regular characters, variants and rare directions | Each design may require a separate pattern, sample and MOQ |
| Shared construction | Base size, body shape, fabric and embroidery rules | Improves visual consistency and production control |
| Assortment plan | Units by design and carton distribution | Supports packing accuracy and retail allocation |
| Packaging system | Inner bag or box, insert, barcode, display carton and export carton | Links product size with shelf and logistics requirements |
Blind box packaging and display cartons
Packaging directions can include a sealed inner bag, printed individual box, character checklist or insert, barcode area, required warnings, retail display carton and export carton marks. Packaging should be finalized after the physical plush sample is approved because the finished size and compression level affect box dimensions.
Artwork, warnings, age grading, responsible-party information, language and barcode requirements are supplied or confirmed by the buyer for the target market. Testing and documentation depend on the complete product, target age and destination.
Sampling and production workflow
- Project review: confirm character ownership or authorization, number of designs, size, quantity, market and packaging.
- Series planning: define shared proportions, regular and rare directions, materials and controlled differences.
- Sample development: produce and revise physical samples for each design that needs approval.
- Packaging sample: size the inner package and display carton around the approved plush.
- Specification approval: lock artwork, materials, embroidery, labels, packaging and assortment instructions.
- Bulk production and inspection: follow the approved references and agreed packing plan.

Can a series include a rare or secret character?
A buyer can request regular and rare character directions. The final assortment ratio, packaging and production plan must be agreed for the specific project before bulk production.
What should a buyer send for a quotation?
Send character artwork, the number of designs, target size, quantity per design, regular and rare assortment plan, destination market, target age, packaging requirements and desired delivery timing.
